According to Odaily, SlowMist CISO 23pds posted on X, warning that Linux users should pay attention to a new type of attack emerging from the Snap Store. Hackers are setting up backdoors through expired domains to steal users' crypto assets. The tampered applications disguise themselves as well-known crypto wallets such as Exodus, Ledger Live, or Trust Wallet, luring users to enter their wallet recovery phrases, which leads to the theft of funds.

According to ChainCatcher, as disclosed by SlowMist Chief Information Security Officer 23pds, a new security vulnerability has emerged in the Snap Store application store on the Linux platform. Hackers are hijacking expired domain names to take over application publisher accounts and implanting malicious code into cryptocurrency wallet applications. Attackers monitor and register developer accounts in the Snap Store whose associated domain names have expired, using these domain email addresses to trigger password resets and thus take over publisher identities with long-standing reputations. The compromised applications are disguised as well-known crypto wallets such as Exodus, Ledger Live, or Trust Wallet, with interfaces that are almost indistinguishable from the genuine versions.
