🦠 Hackers have learned to control malware through the Ethereum blockchain. To achieve this, they hacked developers’ GitHub accounts and tampered with Swarm updates, injecting malicious code designed to steal cryptocurrency wallets.
Ethereum itself has not been hacked. Instead, its smart contracts are being used as a kind of remote control for the malware, allowing attackers to change server addresses and make the malicious infrastructure harder to block.
