According to 23pds, the chief information security officer of SlowMist, who forwarded the exposed post of user @Miles082510 of the X platform, the developer @web3_cryptoguy disguised as a Web3 "tool author" to provide a malicious scripting tool. The tool scans the user's local sensitive files in the background, steals private keys, wallet files, mnemonic words and other key data and uploads it to an anonymous server. The whole process is difficult to detect.
SlowMist reminds users to avoid using scripting tools of unknown origin in case of asset loss.
