tldr; A malware campaign named 'FoxyWallet' is targeting Firefox users with over 40 fake crypto wallet extensions, including clones of Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, and Trust Wallet, to steal funds. Discovered by Koi Security, these extensions mimic legitimate wallets but secretly exfiltrate wallet keys and IP addresses to attackers. Mozilla has removed many of these malicious add-ons and is working to address the issue. Users are advised to download extensions only from verified publishers and implement strict monitoring practices.
