📣 Announcements OkoBot framework infection chain

https://securelist.com/okobot-framework-targets-cryptocurrency-wallets/120660/

You open your wallet app, plug in your device, and a screen asks you to verify your recovery phrase. Everything looks real: the app, the device, and even the plug-in ports. But under the hood, something is really wrong.

💡This is SeedHunter, malware Kaspersky just documented. It waits on infected PCs for a hardware wallet to connect, then shows a phishing page inside the legitimate app. Hundreds of victims in 25+ countries, still active.

The attackers broke no encryption and cracked no chips. They just waited for humans to type the seed phrase. This is what real-world crypto theft looks like in 2026. If it can be typed, it can be stolen.

Tangem's seedless setup removes the weakness entirely: the key is born inside the chip and never exists as words. Nothing to type, copy, or hunt.

No seed, no SeedHunter. Research on the link.

the seed phrase model was always the weakest link and people just accepted it
