BlockBeats News: On February 5th, Kaspersky Labs announced that a malicious software development kit used to create applications on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store is scanning users' images for encrypted wallet mnemonics to steal funds. Kaspersky analysts Sergey Puzan and Dmitry Kalinin stated in a report on February 4th that once a malicious software named SparkCat infects a device, it will use an optical character recognition (OCR) thief to search for images using specific keywords in different languages. The analyst wrote, "Intruders steal mnemonic phrases from encrypted wallets, which are enough to completely control the victim's wallet and further steal funds It should be noted that the flexibility of this malicious software allows it to not only steal mnemonic words, but also other personal data from photo albums, such as message content or passwords that may be retained in screenshots.
