SimpleX Chat’s X account hacked to promote fake crypto site urging users to connect wallets. Site mimicked official design to steal funds.

SimpleX Chat, a privacy-first messaging platform known for avoiding user identifiers and emphasising metadata protection, confirmed that its official X (formerly Twitter) account was compromised in a coordinated attack designed to trick users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets to a fake website which mimicked the SimpleX Chat interface.

****The Incident****

According to SimpleX, the attackers exploited the “delegate” feature on X, which allows business accounts to assign posting permissions to third-party profiles. An unauthorised delegate was added to the @SimpleXChat account, and shortly afterwards, a tweet promoting a fake initiative called “Perpetuals Early Access” appeared, linking to a lookalike domain: simplexspot.com.

The tweet promised users the chance to “become a founding user of the perpetual communication network” and pitched “Security & Ownership That Never Expires.” The goal was to lure users into connecting their wallets through a button labelled “Connect Wallet,” mimicking typical Web3 project onramps.

Over 30 verified X accounts were also contacted via direct message from the compromised @SimpleXChat profile, urging them to engage or repost the fraudulent message. Accounts belonging to @Netlify and @wellowealth were also compromised and used to amplify the scam.

Hacked @Netlify and @wellowealth X accounts

Wello Wealth has confirmed that their account was hacked and has since been restored. However, Netlify has not publicly confirmed or denied the incident.

****The Scam Site****

A screenshot of the fake site shows a professionally designed interface almost identical to SimpleX Chat’s real homepage, complete with visuals of a connected earth, glowing network arcs, and familiar fonts. The call to action “Connect Wallet” is not found on the legitimate SimpleX Chat platform, which does not offer crypto-based onboarding or token integration.

The page features branding, colours and layout consistent with the official SimpleX design, including misleading references to 2022 and 2024 security audits and links to download apps, reinforcing its false legitimacy.

****SimpleX’s Response****

SimpleX’s founder, Evgeny Poberezkin, confirmed the breach, saying the team lost access to 2FA during the incident, preventing them from logging in or removing the post in time. Though they managed to reset the password, the unauthorised delegate retained access and posted the scam tweet before the team could intervene.

SimpleX has since restored access to the X account and thanked the platform’s support team for quick action. The fraudulent tweet remained live for about three hours before removal, thanks in part to community members who publicly flagged the scam. Poberezkin also noted that his personal account was blocked by the attackers during the breach to limit public warnings.

Reports have been filed with Cloudflare, the domain registrar NiceNIC, and the hosting provider OVHcloud to take down the malicious site, but as of this writing, the fake site remains active.

****No Crypto, No Tokens****

SimpleX clarified that it has no plans to offer cryptocurrency-based services or launch tradable tokens. While the project may use blockchain for certain infrastructure components in the future, none of these would require users to hold or interact with crypto assets.

The team warned users to treat any offer involving token presales, wallet connections or crypto incentives as fraudulent unless announced clearly through official channels. SimpleX emphasised that it does not engage in short-term hype campaigns or time-sensitive offers, and all roadmap updates are shared publicly well in advance for transparency and community input.

SimpleX has also urged X to improve security around its delegate feature, suggesting stricter controls and better notifications for delegated access. The ease with which a trusted profile was turned into a malicious tool shows how attackers are abusing business account features for phishing and financial theft.

****Know this X users****

If you are on X and active in the crypto world, you must follow these simple yet vital security precautions to protect your account and funds:

*   Never connect wallets to unverified sites.
*   Report impersonation sites directly to hosting and domain providers.
*   Avoid clicking on suspicious links from official-looking profiles without cross-checking.

SimpleX Chat X Account Hacked, Fake Site Promotes Crypto Wallet Scam

ChrimeraWire is a new Windows trojan that automates web browsing through Chrome to simulate user activity and manipulate search engine rankings.

A newly identified trojan called ChrimeraWire is being used to manipulate search engine rankings by simulating real user activity through Google Chrome. The malware was detailed today by researchers at Doctor Web, who discovered it while analysing affiliate-linked malware distribution campaigns.

ChrimeraWire, instead of stealing passwords or encrypting files, is focused on boosting the visibility of specific websites in Google and Bing search results. It does this by automating searches, loading target sites, and performing clicks all through a hidden instance of the Chrome browser that it downloads and runs in debug mode.

The malware doesn’t arrive directly. It’s dropped in the final stage of a layered infection process. Doctor Web describes two separate chains that lead to its installation, both involving downloader trojans, privilege escalation, and system persistence tricks.

In the first chain, the infection begins with a downloader that checks for virtual environments. If the system looks real, it downloads a Python-based script and a malicious DLL, using a known Windows DLL search order hijack to elevate privileges. Eventually, it uses a signed OneDrive utility to load another malicious DLL, which leads to ChrimeraWire.

The second chain uses a downloader that mimics a legitimate Windows process and patches a system library to run its own payload. It abuses older COM interface vulnerabilities to gain administrator rights, then triggers the same final payload using scheduled tasks and DLL hijacking.

Once installed, ChrimeraWire downloads a specific Chrome build from a third-party site. It adds browser extensions designed to bypass CAPTCHA protections, launches Chrome in a hidden window, and connects to a command-and-control server over WebSocket. The malware receives encrypted instructions that define what to search, what sites to load, how many clicks to simulate, and how long to wait between actions.

One of the websites targeted by the trojan based on C2 server instructions (left), and the site hosting Chrome builds used by the malware to download its archive (right) – Images via Dr Web.

The entire campaign is designed to look like real browsing. ChrimeraWire uses “probabilistic” click patterns, random pauses, and shuffles link order to avoid detection by bot mitigation systems. According to Doctor Web, this makes it effective at inflating traffic in a way that search engines may interpret as genuine engagement.

ChrimeraWire also support other tasks like reading page content, taking screenshots, and even filling out web forms. These functions aren’t fully used yet, but could be activated in future versions.

For now, the main use appears to be driving fake traffic to specific websites, likely as part of shady affiliate marketing or SEO manipulation. The malware infrastructure suggests room for expansion into broader automation or data scraping if operators choose to go that route.

Doctor Web has published technical details and MITRE ATT&CK mappings in their full report. Security teams are advised to watch for unsigned Chrome processes running at startup, PowerShell-based downloaders, and scheduled tasks linked to Python or Chrome activity.

ChrimeraWire Trojan Fakes Chrome Activity to Manipulate Search Rankings

Securonix Threat Research details the complex JS#SMUGGLER campaign, a three-step web attack using obfuscated JavaScript and hidden HTA files to install the NetSupport RAT on user Windows desktops, granting hackers full remote control and persistent access.

Security analytics and operations management platform Securonix recently published details on a tricky new malware campaign they named JS#SMUGGLER. This attack delivers a powerful tool known as NetSupport RAT, giving hackers complete, secret control over victims’ computers.

Securonix’s Threat Research team, including analysts Akshay Gaikwad, Shikha Sangwan, and Aaron Beardslee, conducted the analysis, which was shared with Hackread.com.

****The Three-Step Infection****

The entire attack is designed in three stages to make sure security systems don’t notice it. The process begins when a user simply visits a compromised website. The first step uses an obfuscated JavaScript loader. Obfuscation means the hackers purposely jumble their code, even hiding the malicious instructions among thousands of random words in comment blocks, to fool security checks.

This script, typically loaded from sites like boriver.com, is programmed to check if the user is on a desktop or a mobile device. If it detects a desktop, it proceeds with the full infection. Researchers noted that the script also uses a clever trick to run only once per user, which helps keep the operation quiet before fetching the next stage from domains like stoneandjon.com.

The second step involves a secret HTML Application (HTA). This HTA runs completely unseen using a standard Windows program called mshta.exe. Inside this HTA is the next part of the code, which is heavily protected through multiple layers of encryption: AES-256-ECB, Base64, and GZIP compression. This complex setup ensures the program only appears fully decoded in the computer’s memory, which means it never writes the main infection file to the hard drive, where antivirus programs could easily find it.

****NetSupport RAT: Final Takeover****

The third step involves installing the final program: NetSupport RAT. It is worth noting that NetSupport Manager is a real tool for IT professionals. However, as we know it, when hackers use it for bad purposes, it becomes a Remote Access Trojan (RAT).

Securonix confirmed that the goal of this entire chain is full and long-lasting remote access. Once running, the RAT lets the hacker take full remote desktop control, browse and steal files, run commands, and conduct surveillance. The PowerShell code in this stage pulls a compressed file from a domain like kindstki.com.

To make the malware permanent, the hackers extract the files into a normal-looking folder like C:\ProgramData\CommunicationLayer\ and create a fake Startup shortcut, for example, named WindowsUpdate.lnk. This shortcut guarantees the RAT starts up automatically every time the victim logs in, showing this is an active and highly professional malware operation.

Given the multi-layered tactics used in this JS#SMUGGLER campaign, caution is essential for all internet users. To protect yourself from such threats, please carefully validate all software downloads and strengthen your endpoint defences to detect suspicious script activity and unauthorised process execution.

INE Earns G2 Winter 2026 Badges Across Global Markets

Space Bears ransowmare claims it obtained Comcast files through a breach at Quasar Inc, with threats to publish the data and separate leaks promised from Quasar itself.

Space Bears ransomware group is claiming that it obtained internal Comcast material by exploiting a breach at Quasar Inc., a telecommunications engineering contractor based in Georgia.

The claims were published on the group’s dark web leak site. The same leak site also lists Quasar as an independent victim, which indicates the group is presenting two connected incidents rather than a single combined breach.

****Who is Space Bears Ransowmare Group****

Space Bears appeared in April 2024. Analysts describe the group as a data theft and extortion operation that sometimes applies encryption but often focuses on obtaining sensitive files, removing them from victim networks and demanding payment to suppress publication.

Several research teams link the group to the Phobos ransomware as a service program (RaaS), and the Space Bears leak site is believed to function as a shared publishing point for activity related to that infrastructure.

****Claims involving Comcast****

In its post referencing Comcast published earlier today, the group says that the information it is holding originated from Quasar Inc. Space Bears states that Quasar produces technical documentation for Comcast and the Genesis program, and that this created an entry point for the material now in its possession. According to the group, the files include city design documentation and detailed utility plans for multiple locations.

Space Bears has set a 6-day timer before it intends to release the material publicly. During that period, it is offering the data for purchase. The group has not provided examples of the alleged Comcast-related files, so independent verification is not possible at this stage.

“The leak was made possible by Quasar Inc., a company that prepares technical documentation for Comсast and its Genesis project. The files contain design documentation for numerous cities, as well as detailed utility plans,” the group said.

****Claims involving Quasar Inc**.**

Quasar Inc. appeared on the Space Bears leak site in a separate post dated 4 December 2025. In that entry, Space Bears claims it obtained documents tied to network projects, city drawings, communication layouts and additional internal material. A four-day countdown is active for the Quasar leak as well, with the group also advertising data access for buyers.

Quasar describes itself as a firm that designs and implements telecommunications networks. Public information lists work related to network architecture planning, GIS-based project design, field documentation, permitting and various forms of technical support. The company’s headquarters address is located in Woodstock, Georgia, and its site states that it carries out work across multiple regions.

****Comcast Again****

Comcast continues to attract high interest from extortion groups due to its size and the volume of sensitive information routed through its services. In September 2025, Medusa claimed to have removed 834 gigabytes of internal material from Comcast and asked for a payment of $1.2 million.

The group later released the entire data set in October after no settlement was reached. In 2025, more than two hundred thousand Comcast user credentials appeared on dark web platforms.

In 2023, Xfinity, which is owned by Comcast, experienced a breach linked to a Citrix product flaw that resulted in the exposure of more than 35 million accounts. In November 2025, Comcast received a penalty of one point five million dollars related to another vendor incident.

Hackread.com has contacted Comcast and Quasar Inc. for comment. Responses will be added if provided.

Infoblox Threat Intel reports a campaign that used the Evilginx phishing kit to bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and steal credentials from 18 US universities between April and November 2025.

A new report from security firm Infoblox reveals that at least 18 American universities have been hit by a prolonged, coordinated phishing attack over a period of many months.

According to Infoblox’s blog post, shared with Hackread.com, this campaign ran from April to November 2025 and aimed to steal student and staff account details, even when Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) was turned on.

****The Attack Strategy: Bypassing Security****

For your information, MFA is an extra safety step that involves entering a code from your phone or approving a notification after you enter your password. This attack bypassed MFA by using a dangerous, open-source phishing kit called Evilginx.

Evilginx acts like a digital middleman, using an Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) approach. When a student clicked on one of the phishing links sent in a personalised email, Evilginx quietly stepped between the victim and the university’s actual login page. It mimicked the real login process, stealing both the username/password and the session cookie that grants access after MFA is completed.

Stealing this cookie allows the attacker to take over the account completely. Researchers noted that the links used in the emails were short, temporary TinyURLs that looked like they came from the school’s single sign-on (SSO) portal.

****Tracing the Digital Trail****

Infoblox’s report also revealed that the campaign operators took steps to hide their tracks, such as changing the attack links often and using services like Cloudflare to mask where their servers were located. However, an initial tip from a security professional at one of the targeted institutions helped Infoblox begin an investigation.

Further probing involved analysing DNS patterns, which refer to the digital record of how domains are requested and resolved. Eventually, Infoblox’s Threat Intel team was able to connect the dots. They tracked nearly 70 different domains used in the plot over the months. The first recorded attack was on April 12, 2025, against the University of San Diego.

The top five targeted schools, based on attack volume, were the University of California, Santa Cruz, the University of California, Santa Barbara, the University of San Diego, Virginia Commonwealth University, and the University of Michigan.

Targeted universities (Source: Infoblox)

Renée Burton, Vice President of Infoblox Threat Intel, stressed the serious harm these attacks cause, noting that universities remain a popular target. She shared a particularly concerning example, stating, “Universities remain a common target for malicious actors, who show little concern for the damage they cause or the value of the systems they lock down,” and detailed a case where an attack on the University of Washington “ultimately destroyed part of the museum’s digital catalogue of plant and animal specimens an invaluable record.”

These successful attacks show how quickly cybercriminals are using tools like Evilginx to bypass MFA, making strong security awareness and prompt reporting by campus staff and students more critical than ever to protect their data.

Barts Health NHS confirms Cl0p ransomware breach via Oracle flaw. Invoice data exposed. Patient records and clinical systems remain unaffected.

Barts Health NHS Trust has confirmed that the Russian-speaking Cl0p ransomware group stole files from one of its invoice databases after exploiting a vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite. The breach exposed data linked to payments for treatment and services, with some records going back several years.

Hackread.com first reported on the Cl0p activity in November twenty twenty five, noting the group had leaked 241 GB of NHS data on its hidden site shortly after claiming responsibility for a wider campaign against healthcare targets.

Now, according to Barts’ press release, the stolen material includes names and addresses of patients who were billed for care, records of former staff with unresolved salary issues and payment details for suppliers. Most supplier information is already public. Clinical systems and patient records were not affected.

Files linked to accounting services provided to Barking Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust since April 2024 were also compromised. Barts advises patients to review any invoices they received to understand if their data was involved.

The breach occurred in August but went undetected until November, when the files surfaced on the Cl0p ransomware‘s dark web leak site. Oracle has since patched the exploited flaw. Barts has reported the incident to NHS England, the National Cyber Security Centre, the Metropolitan Police and data regulators. It is also seeking a High Court order to block the circulation of the stolen data.

****NHS and ransomware attacks****

The Barts incident adds to a growing list of ransomware activity aimed at UK health services. In recent months, Qilin ransomware has released patient records on private channels after hitting an NHS supplier, which affected emergency care in London. Hackread reported that one of those incidents has been linked by staff to the death of a patient after a disruption caused delays in treatment.

More attacks have targeted NHS bodies in Scotland. The INC group claimed to have taken several terabytes of patient files and later released the material on hidden forums while also publishing threats against UK health services.

These cases share common traits. Attackers look for security vulnerabilities in widely used enterprise systems. Once inside, they move toward administrative data that can be sold or used for pressure campaigns. Even when clinical systems stay intact, the fallout strains staff who have to rebuild trust and manage fraud risks for those affected.

Although the Barts theft involves invoice data rather than clinical records, it still creates opportunities for social engineering. Cyber criminals often use basic personal details to support payment fraud. Barts is directing people to Stop Think Fraud for advice and is urging anyone with questions to contact its data protection officer.

CISA, NSA, and Canadian Cyber Centre warn that PRC state-sponsored hackers are using BRICKSTORM, a stealthy Go-based backdoor, for long-term espionage in Government and IT networks.

Major security agencies from the US and Canada have issued a serious alert about BRICKSTORM, a new cybersecurity threat believed to be used by hackers sponsored by the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the National Security Agency (NSA) from the US, and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (Cyber Centre) say these hackers are using the tool to sneak into critical networks and stay hidden for long periods.

****What Is BRICKSTORM and Who’s at Risk?****

BRICKSTORM is basically a backdoor that gives attackers a secret entry point to control systems undetected. Built with the Go programming language for broad compatibility, including Windows and Linux environments, it primarily targets organisations in the Government Services and Facilities and Information Technology sectors, CISA explained in its press release published on December 4, 2025.

CISA also notes that the hackers are especially focused on VMware vSphere platforms, which manage large virtual computer networks. Once a hacker gains access, they can steal snapshots of virtual machines to get usernames and passwords, and even create their own hidden, secret virtual machines.

For your information, this long-term “persistent” access was observed lasting from April 2024 until at least September 3, 2025. This activity was previously reported by Hackread.com in September, when the hackers were observed targeting US legal, technology, and business outsourcing firms

****How the Attacks Work****

According to CISA’s Malware Analysis Report (PDF), the agency analysed eight BRICKSTORM samples obtained from compromised organisations to help others detect and remove the threat. In one case, the state-sponsored hackers first broke into a web server inside a victim’s security zone (DMZ).

From there, they used stolen service account credentials, which are like master keys, to invade other crucial systems, including domain controllers and an Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) server. They then deployed BRICKSTORM onto an internal VMware vCenter server.

Once installed, the malware ensures its own persistence by using a built-in function to automatically reinstall itself if interrupted. It also uses multiple layers of encryption to hide its messages, making communication with the hackers’ control centres extremely difficult to spot, which is highly concerning.

It is worth noting that while all samples gave the hackers stealthy control, they differed in minor ways, such as how they achieved persistence or which samples included a SOCKS proxy feature to help them tunnel deeper into a victim’s network.

The agencies are strongly urging all affected organisations to use the newly released indicators of compromise (IOCs) and detection signatures to check their systems and immediately report any sign of BRICKSTORM activity.

****Expert View: Targeting the Virtualisation Foundation:****

Commenting exclusively on the advisory**,** Ensar Seker, CISO at threat intel company SOCRadar, shared with Hackread.com that: “What’s especially alarming about this campaign is that it targets the virtualisation layer itself, not the OS or applications, which historically receives less attention.”

Seker stressed that once the management console (vCenter) is compromised, attackers “gain broad visibility over the virtual infrastructure and can bypass many traditional endpoint defences.”

He concluded that this malware “isn’t just another malware campaign. It’s a wake-up call showing that adversaries are shifting upward in the stack, targeting the foundations of virtualisation rather than individual VMs.”
