Hackers Spend Nearly $7 Million on Expired Domains to Redirect Traffic to Scams and Malware

Infoblox reports Sable Squirrel spent nearly $7 million on expired domains to redirect traffic to illegal sports streaming, gambling, and malware infrastructure.

Infoblox tracked 50,400 dropcatch domains re-registered daily in gTLDs during H1 2026, nearly 20% of all registrations, with .net and .xyz leading. The threat actor Sable Squirrel has acquired more than 10,000 expired domains supporting Asian sports piracy brands such as Xoilac, Cakhia, 90phut, Socolive, and MiTom while promoting betting services like VSBet, ColaScore, and 8xbet. The operation, assessed as Vietnam-based and overlapping the dismantled Xoi Lac TV streaming network, targets users in Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and Australia via a traffic distribution system, publishes Android apps through suspected compromised Google Play developer accounts, and deployed over 31,000 malware samples including Quasar RAT, AsyncRAT, DCRat, NanoCore, Remcos RAT, and njRAT.

40 Malicious Firefox Extensions Pose as Web3 Products to Steal Wallet Secrets

Socket found 40 malicious Firefox extensions impersonating OKX, Rabby Wallet, and TronLink to steal cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrases and private keys.

The Socket Threat Research team identified 40 malicious Firefox extensions masquerading as Web3 products including OKX, Rabby Wallet, and TronLink, part of a broader set of 77 add-ons sharing source code and infrastructure overlaps. The campaign, dubbed Offside Wallet Theft Factory, has been active since March 2026 and remains unattributed. Of the 40 confirmed malicious extensions, 15 capture recovery phrases and private keys exfiltrated through Cloudflare Workers, 13 modified Rabby Wallet builds exfiltrate serialized keyrings before local encryption, seven use attacker-controlled Supabase projects as remote switches, and five capture credentials and clipboard data via hard-coded C2. Some extensions began as sports score or utility shells before being repurposed into wallet stealers under the same Firefox ID.
