🚨 PSA: threat actors are approaching crypto projects on Telegram, posing as white-hat researchers, offering an “exploit PoC” for your own infra. The PoC contains malware. Our detailed write-up is linked below. It’s a complete, runnable Solana exploit kit (fork harness, fixtures, the real program binary) so it looks legit. But poc.mjs reads a byte array from a JSON field called UnifiedSignatureInfo, decodes it to a URL, and runs curl -fsSL -k "" | sh. The decimal array is plain ASCII posing as a Solana signature. Following the README (npm install, start fork, node poc.mjs) is what detonates it. IOC: hxxps://162[.]35[.]174[.]231:5000/stage2. Treat any unsolicited PoC as hostile, review statically in an isolated VM, and never run the setup steps on a box you care about. Report any suspicious reachouts to SEAL. radar.securityalliance.org/a…

@SEAL_911 is free to anyone who needs it, and stays that way because people fund it. If this week's numbers are useful to you, fund next week's: securityalliance.org/donate If you require a direct and more detailed data feed from SEAL Intel contact us on our website (link in bio).

2) Our Incident Management Framework has a new runbook for a compromised contributor laptop, written from the responder’s side: contain the device, scope what it reached, revoke access in order, and rebuild. The new runbook also connects our malware and DPRK playbooks to the org-side response process. @S1ns3nz0S71060 contributed this update too with a solid Steward review from @hexnickk4997. 🙏 frameworks.securityalliance.…

It's been an incredible journey, but I've made the difficult decision to step back from day-to-day operations at @_SEAL_Org. I'll be transitioning onto the Board while @sbatt55 transitions from COO to Interim CEO

Great reporting by @KimZetter on hardware implants in Ledger wallets stealing crypto recovery seeds via cellular connections. Buying from an authorized reseller may not be enough. Question for hardware security researchers: Could we develop an inexpensive SDR-based test to detect these implants by monitoring for unexpected LTE transmissions during wallet initialization, without opening the device? zetter-zeroday.com/who-is-pl…
