ChainCatcher reports that hackers are stealing cryptocurrency users’ assets by running fake Windows 11 update ads on Facebook. These ads use professional Microsoft branding and direct users to cloned Microsoft websites, where malicious software is downloaded.
The malware installs a framework called “LunarApplication” on the victim’s computer, specifically designed to steal cryptocurrency wallet seed phrases, login credentials, and other sensitive information. Hackers use geofencing techniques to avoid data center IP addresses and prevent automated scanners from detecting the attack.

On the surface, the vault’s books show a loss of $3 million.
