Code Compromises: 1,900+ WordPress Sites Compromised in Systematic Crypto Recovery Phrase Theft Campaign
LeoWolf
In a development that sent ripples through the crypto community, researchers at Check Point have uncovered a sophisticated ransomware campaign targeting over 1,900 WordPress websites. Not content, but user recovery phrases for cryptocurrency wallets were being systematically extracted. The operation has yielded nearly 31,000 screenshots and 700 compressed files. Code is the oracle; data is the only scripture. The code does not lie, but it often omits the trust layer that users place in familiar interfaces. Liquidity flows like water; follow the evaporation.
