New York, N.Y., Aug.9, 2023 – Today, the Fireblocks Cryptography Research Team announced the findings of multiple zero-day vulnerabilities in some of the most used cryptographic multi-party computation (MPC) protocols, including GG-18, GG-20, and implementations of Lindell 17. If left unremediated, the exposures would allow attackers and malicious insiders to drain funds from the wallets of millions of retail and institutional customers in seconds, with no knowledge to the user or vendor.
The Balada Injector is still at large and still evading security software by utilizing new domain names and using new obfuscation. During a routine web monitoring operation, we discovered an address that led us down a rabbit hole of WordPress-orientated “hack waves” caused by the Balada Injector malware. This evidence suggests that the malware is still at large and still evading security software by utilizing new domain names and slight changes between the waves of obfuscated attacks.
