🚨 SlowMist TI Alert: Beware of the “Cracked TradingView Premium” Infostealer 🚨 Since mid-October, X account "cryptotrice" has repeatedly promoted a so-called “reverse-engineered cracked #TradingView# Premium,” with some posts passing 300K views. The software requires downloading a password-protected archive and generating a license code via a KeyGen. 🔑 The author claims the project is open source on GitHub, but the download link in the article does not point to #GitHub#. In some replies, the author also said the repo has been made private and that links are only available in-app and expire after a single use. Several users warned in the comments that it looks like malware stealing account info and crypto wallets, and one said their antivirus flagged and deleted it right after extraction. 🦠 We analyzed it and confirmed the Windows sample is an infostealer: 🔸 Collects browser credentials, crypto wallet data and Telegram data, and sends it to the C2 via WinINet 🔸 Uses Telegram and Steam to dynamically fetch and rotate C2 servers 🔸 The download site, arche-hypnose[.]com, appears to be a legitimate website compromised to distribute the malware 🔸 The macOS link currently returns 404, so no sample has been obtained ⚠️ If you have already run this software: disconnect from the network immediately, move your assets to a clean device with a new wallet and seed phrase, change passwords for your browsers, exchanges, email and Telegram, and terminate active Telegram sessions. Cracked software, KeyGens and password-protected archives are among the most common ways infostealers are distributed. Don’t install them. 🛡️ IOC Sample source: teapawt[.]org/cryptotrice/article/2111472920241524897 Download links: hxxps://www[.]arche-hypnose[.]com/get/ (Windows) hxxps://www[.]arche-hypnose[.]com/mac/ (macOS, currently 404) C2: hxxps://xn[.]amanlay[.]org/rn/gate hxxps://z[.]dak69[.]org/j/gate hxxps://xn[.]amanlay[.]org/kw/gate

Arch founder & CEO (@proofofmud) explains why most blockchains struggle to generate sustainable revenue and why DeFi needs a different approach to creating long-term value. “What if Ethereum, back with their massive treasury in 2020 or 2018 or something, they bought Uniswap and they bought Aave? You know how much extra value would they be able to deliver to ETH stakers and holders if they were a little bit more pragmatic about the approach of creating sustainable value?”
