The operation, tracked as 'Offside Wallet Theft Factory', includes 40 confirmed malicious extensions that exfiltrate recovery phrases, private keys, and credentials through Supabase-controlled remote switches, Cloudflare Workers, and hardcoded command-and-control infrastructure. An additional 37 deceptive sports-score shells share publishing artifacts and version histories showing transitions from benign utilities into wallet-stealing malware.
