A Chinese hacking group, allegedly operating under the guise of cybersecurity firm Wuhan Anfen Technology, reportedly stole $7 million in cryptocurrency through a supply chain attack. The group targeted platforms such as Trust Wallet, exploiting vulnerabilities in Electron clients and using automated tools to harvest mnemonic phrases and scan multi-chain assets. The attack involved 37 different tokens across networks like Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum.
The incident came to light following an internal conflict over profit distribution, leading a disgruntled member to leak details and plan to surrender to authorities. The allegations remain unconfirmed, pending further investigation. This case underscores the persistent security risks in cryptocurrency wallet supply chains and the increasing sophistication of targeted attacks on high-value users.
