A malware campaign specifically targeting the crypto and NFT communities on Discord has been discovered, according to a report by Bleeping Computer.

Malicious actors abuse the popular charting service with the help of an algorithm called Babadeda, which means “grandma-grandpa” in Russian.

Cybersecurity firm Morphisec was the first to spot the new malware distribution campaign earlier this week.

Criminals often try to trick users into downloading fake software that copies popular blockchain games like Mines of Dalarna.

Using the HTML object from one of the decoy websites, Morphisec determined that the malware campaign was being run by people from a Russian-speaking country.

They mimic the websites of some of the most famous companies in the NFT industry, including OpenSea and Larva Labs.

People who start installing malware often see a fake bug used as a deception technique while the installer does its job in the background.

Cyber ​​criminals have the ability to track down a victim’s crypto wallet and NFT.

It is no surprise that Discord has become a target of malicious actors as it has become a home for many crypto users where they can communicate through public or private channels.

Earlier this month, Discord put plans to integrate the Ethereum network on hold after facing backlash from the anti-crypto segment of its customer base.
