Scam Sniffer analysts have discovered Nortex malware renamed Astryx. Read the details - dangerous stuff.

How#Astryxworks:

- Phishing attacks: Astryx is distributed through phishing sites that disguise themselves as popular services (e.g. wallets or exchanges). Users are asked to connect their wallets (e.g. MetaMask), after which the attackers gain access to their funds.

- Vulnerability exploitation: After connecting to a fake website or clicking on a malicious link, the software can gain access to personal information, wallet keys and passwords, allowing attackers to steal cryptocurrency.

- Advanced malware components: Astryx uses various types of malware to steal data, targeting users of different platforms, such as Windows and (including!) macOS. Apple fans are also at risk.

How to protect yourself:

- Check URLs and be extremely careful: Always check the authenticity of a site before entering personal data or connecting crypto wallets. Use only official sites. And make sure they are official.

- Don't trust news about sudden drops or promotions like "send us 1 BTC and we'll give you 2 back" (yes, people fall for that too).

- Use security software: Install antivirus software with malware tracking and blocking capabilities.

- Two-Factor Authentication: Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your wallets and exchange accounts for added security.

There is a rapid increase in cryptocurrency thefts due to malware. The more retailers earn during the bull market, the more this industry will flourish. All scammers want your crypto assets.
