A recent cybersecurity alert has emerged regarding a large-scale cryptojacking campaign dubbed 'MassJacker,' which targets cryptocurrency users by hijacking clipboard data. Cybersecurity firm CyberArk reported that the malware has affected over 700,000 cryptocurrency wallets, redirecting funds to attacker-controlled addresses. In a related incident, North Korean hackers, identified as the Lazarus Group, infiltrated the npm (Node Package Manager) ecosystem by introducing six malicious packages aimed at stealing cryptocurrency through credential theft and backdoor access. Developers are advised to verify the authenticity of packages before installation. Additionally, hackers have been found to have poisoned the Python Package Index (PyPI) with 20 fake packages that stole cloud access tokens, accumulating over 14,100 downloads before their removal.
