Cybersecurity experts warn crypto investors about a new wave of malware spreading via Reddit, disguised as cracked versions of TradingView.
How AMOS and Lumma Malware Work
AMOS and Lumma are two major malware strains designed to steal users' sensitive data, including crypto wallet information, stored passwords, and browser history. They masquerade as legitimate software, posing as free or cracked versions of TradingView.
Infection Mechanism through Reddit
These malicious files are distributed through Reddit posts targeting individuals involved in cryptocurrency trading and investing. Once users install the suspicious app, the malware silently collects data and transmits it to attackers.
How to Protect from Malware
Cybersecurity experts strongly advise avoiding downloading software from unofficial sources, especially cracked versions. Always verify the source and keep antivirus software active and updated. Be vigilant towards suspicious offers or free downloads in crypto forums.
Taking precautionary measures and timely updating software is the key to protection against such threats. Never download unverified applications and regularly scan your devices for malware.
