Fake AI trading agent steals crypto wallet passwords

Fake AI crypto trading agent sites deliver Needle Stealer, which replaces browser wallet extensions to steal wallet passwords, HP reports.

HP researchers tracked campaigns between April and June 2026 in which a fake AI trading agent site, tradingclaw[.]pro, distributed a Microsoft-signed OLEView executable that DLL side-loads a malicious iviewers.dll and launches Needle Stealer via process hollowing. Needle replaces one of seven browser wallet extensions, including MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Phantom, to capture wallet passwords. Related campaigns used QR-code invoice phishing leading to fake OneDrive pages, Phantom Stealer sold as a penetration testing tool with VBScript-to-PowerShell steganographic loaders, and image-hidden payloads delivering XWorm, PureLogs Stealer, and Formbook; a perceptual-hash VirusTotal search found about 400 distinct rigged images.

KREMLIN Banking Malware Bypasses Chrome Security to Steal Banking Sessions

Elastic Security Labs details KREMLIN, a Brazilian banking malware that implants malicious Chrome and Edge extensions by forging Chromium integrity values to steal banking sessions.

Elastic Security Labs tracks the KREMLIN banking malware operation as REF9334, active since at least May 2025 across seven campaigns primarily targeting 12 Brazilian banks. The malware is installed by a victim-run JavaScript loader, achieves scheduled-task persistence, and side-loads a malicious DLL via SentinelOne's SentinelMemoryScanner.exe. It modifies Chrome and Edge Secure Preferences files, enables developer mode, and regenerates Chromium MAC values to silently install extensions, while extracting browser encryption material including the newer App-Bound OSCrypt key. An Ethereum smart contract serves as a dead-drop resolver for C2 config; Elastic disrupted over 1,500 infections via a canary domain.

The extension you never installed: KREMLIN forges Chrome's own integrity checks to steal banking sessions

Elastic details KREMLIN, a Brazilian banking malware whose malicious Chrome/Edge extension forges Chromium integrity checks to steal sessions.

Elastic Security Labs tracked operation REF9334 and its KREMLIN toolkit, a Brazilian banking malware campaign impersonating twelve banks across seven campaigns since May 2025. The infection chain uses multi-stage obfuscated JavaScript loaders with sandbox checks (file and process counting), scheduled-task persistence, and an Ethereum smart contract acting as a dead-drop resolver for C2 and payload URLs, abusing Archive.org for hosting. The malicious browser extension bypasses Chromium integrity mechanisms by manipulating Secure Preferences and regenerating required HMACs and App-Bound encrypted hashes. Threat Command disrupted over 1,500 infections by registering the kill-switch canary domain.
