Ethereum-Phishing ATS Highlights Dangers of Cryptocurrency Landscape
released on 2018-05-17 @ 03:26:57 PM
What makes MEWkit stand out is that it's so much more than a traditional phishing kit. Beyond being a
front-end mimicking the MyEtherWallet website with the purpose of stealing credentials, it's also a clientside
application that processes the payment details captured by the phishing page to transfer funds out
of phished victim Ethereum wallets directly to attacker-controlled wallets.
In this report, we'll discuss more detail on the functionality, background, and past and current campaigns
using MEWKit. We'll also shed some light on a significant event that happened on April 24, 2018, in which
a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) hijack attack was performed on the Amazon DNS servers to reroute
people from the official MyEtherWallet website to a host running MEWKit.
