GitVenom Campaign Exploits GitHub to Target Crypto Users

The GitVenom campaign spreads malware via fake GitHub repositories, targeting developers and cryptocurrency users worldwide. Attackers hide malicious code in projects like automation tools, crypto bots, and game cheats. The malware deploys Node.js Stealer, AsyncRAT, Quasar RAT, and clipboard hijackers to steal credentials and funds. Notably, the attackers’ Bitcoin wallet received nearly 5 BTC (around $485,000) in November 2024 alone. To prevent infection, users should verify repositories, inspect code, and use security tools.
