Slow Fog Releases Analysis of Osiris Malicious Browser Extension: Users Have Already Suffered Losses, Reminder to Avoid Installing Unknown Programs, Extensions, etc.

Odaily Planet Daily News SlowMist officially released the analysis of the Osiris malicious browser extension, which pointed out that the malicious browser extension will replace the user’s normal download link and redirect to the download link of the malicious program, and the user unknowingly downloads and installs the malicious program, resulting in the loss of crypto assets. After obtaining the data, the attacker can try to decode and obtain the private key or mnemonic phrase of the Web3 wallet to steal the user’s assets, or obtain the account password saved in the user’s Chrome, and then take over the user’s social platform account and cryptocurrency platform account. These extensions, disguised as “security tools,” steal crypto assets and user data by hijacking download links and planting malicious code, and some users have suffered losses. In view of this, users are reminded to avoid installing unknown programs, extensions, etc., and not to trust strangers’ solutions or tool recommendations.
