Attackers created a fake Binance website, disguised as a popular crypto-country. They send phishing letters to potential victims, offering them to buy Trump tokens launched by US President Donald Trump. However, there is a condition for this – you need to install Binance Desktop.
In fact, instead of a customer of the exchange for desktop computers, users install Connectwise Rat used by cybercriminals as malicious software. After that, attackers can connect to infected computers in less than 2 minutes. They extract passwords saved in Microsoft Edge and other programs.
Trump token was launched in January and flew by more than 300%per day. During the first two days after the launch, the token took 19th place in the cryptocurrency rating, and its market capitalization reached $ 13 billion. However, after the appearance of the “related” Mlania token from the first Lady of the United States Melania Trump, Trump collapsed by 45%. Now it is trading at $ 10.88, and its market capitalization is $ 10.9 billion.
Recently, the Congressman-Democrat Maksine Waters called Trump tokens fraud, on which only the American president was enriched, and not ordinary traders.
