Scammers use fake crypto jobs, ‘GrassCall’ meeting app to drain wallets
A cybercrime group has launched a complex social engineering scheme with fake crypto job ads, a fake firm and a malicious meeting app.
Social engineering scammers are reportedly using fake job offers and a new malware-laden app called “GrassCall” to install info-stealing software that hunts for crypto wallets to drain.
BleepingComputer reported on Feb. 26 that the actors behind the scam have now abandoned the scheme, with websites and LinkedIn accounts tied to the scam taken down as the hundreds of people targeted have spoken out — some who said they had their crypto wallets raided after downloading GrassCall.
The Russia-based cybercrime group “Crazy Evil” is reportedly behind the scam, which consists of social engineering specialists, commonly known as a “traffer team,” who have a focus on stealing crypto.
