Fake Skype App Used in Crypto Phishing Attack: SlowMist



Blockchain security firm SlowMist has uncovered a phishing attack involving a fake Skype app that steals crypto funds. The app, disguised as the genuine Skype tool, uploads files and images from users' devices to capture sensitive information. The scam targets crypto users in China due to the inaccessibility of the Google Play app store, with users typically resorting to direct downloads of apps. The attackers replace Ethereum and Tron blockchain addresses with their own, redirecting payments to themselves.
