Malicious Chrome Extension Steals SOL in Secret Transactions, Targets Traders
A recent Chrome extension called Crypto Copilot has been reported to execute hidden transactions, rerouting fees to an attacker's wallet. This malicious extension, using Raydium for swaps, adds a concealed instruction to transfer 0.0013 SOL or 0.05% of each trade to the scammer. Users unknowingly approve these transactions as they appear as single atomic actions.
- The extension was available from June 2024 and managed to affect users before being flagged for removal.
- Similar incidents have occurred, including a $1 million theft and other wallet drains linked to extensions.
SOL Price Analysis
- SOL is currently around $141, within a falling wedge pattern.
- The price reached a demand zone near $130, with potential resistance at $180 if momentum continues.
- A breakthrough could lead SOL to $240 and potentially $300.
- Maintaining above $130 is crucial for upward movement; failure risks a decline toward $120.
