OKX warns users of fraudulent browser extensions on Firefox

OKX, a crypto exchange platform, has alerted users of a malicious OKX browser extension that has appeared on the Firefox browser plugin store. The add-on incorporates third-party functionality within the web browser interface. While alerting the users, the exchange said that they hadn’t released any Firefox browser extensions and called on users who might have mistakenly downloaded the add-on to move any funds or digital assets in wallets connected to the malicious extension. OKX further contacted Firefox to remove the applications before they harm users. OKX also further advised users to avoid downloading OKX-specific software from third parties. Fraudulent browser plugins have been used to access sensitive data and often steal funds. Crypto criminals use the technique, also known as a phishing scam, to steal cryptocurrency.

In September 2024, McAfee discovered malware known as SpyAgent on Android phones. The malware appeared like a legitimate Android application but was a scam that had affected over 280 fraudulent applications. Using optical character recognition (OCR), SpyAgent scans images stored on Android’s memory and steals sensitive information, including cryptocurrency passcodes stored in the images. The researchers at McAfee also noted that the malware replicated through text message links easily lured users to download the fraudulent app. This approach made it easiest for scammers to bypass the security features on Google’s app store.
