New Domain Resurrection Attack Targets Linux Snap Store

A new type of 'domain resurrection attack' has been identified on the Linux Snap Store, according to PANews. The attack involves hackers taking control of expired developer domains and updating legitimate applications through official channels. These applications are then disguised as popular wallets like Exodus, Ledger Live, and Trust Wallet to trick users into entering their mnemonic phrases, leading to the theft of cryptocurrency assets. The domains storewise.tech and vagueentertainment.com have been confirmed as hijacked. This attack exploits the Snap mechanism, allowing originally trusted software to be embedded with malicious code without users' knowledge.
