Odessa Scammers Busted, Stealth GPU Cryptominer and More Cybersecurity News This weekâs top cybersecurity: crypto heists, GPU cryptojacking, dev-targeted botnets, and more. Weâve gathered the weekâs most important cybersecurity news. - A new group hit crypto companies via fake interviews and macOS malware. - A stealth GPU miner spread through search spam and AI chatbots. - A vigilante hacker was booted from GitHub and GitLab after posting Microsoft zero-days. - CrowdStrike and Google dismantled a network targeting open-source developers. New group hit crypto firms via fake interviews and macOS malware Researchers at Wiz uncovered a large-scale cryptocurrency theft campaign attributed to a previously unknown group, JINX-0164. Since mid-2025, the attackers have targeted blockchain developers through fake online interviews. During the exchange, the victim was redirected to a spoofed videoconferencing site. There, under the pretext of installing a client or fixing a “technical error,” the developer was persuaded to download an infected file. The groupâs toolkit includes sophisticated malware adapted for both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures: - AUDIOFIX. Disguised as a system audio driver. It steals passwords, SSH keys, crypto wallet data, and sessions from Discord and Telegram. The software enables lateral movement across a companyâs internal network, infiltration of infrastructure, and injection of malicious code into active projects; - MiniRAT. Previously used in a supply-chain attack. It was distributed through a trojanized version of the legitimate npm package @velora-dex/sdk, used in DeFi projects. MiniRAT allows remote command execution and loading of additional modules. Experts note that JINX-0164âs tactics â a focus on crypto, targeting developers via fake recruiting, and the use of specific VPN services (for example, Astrill VPN) â resemble the modus operandi of North Korean groups such as BlueNoroff. However, Wiz found no direct technical overlaps in infrastructure to conclusively tie JINX-0164 to Pyongyang. Stealth GPU miner
