The company <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/okxchinese\/status\/1876897291757604958\">clarified<\/a> <\/strong>that it has not released any Firefox plugins and advised users who may have unknowingly downloaded these extensions to immediately transfer any funds from wallets linked to them.<\/p>\n<p>OKX has taken action by notifying Firefox to remove the fraudulent extensions and reminded users to avoid downloading any OKX-related software from third-party sources.<\/p>\n<p>Malicious browser extensions, which can steal sensitive data and funds, have become a growing concern in the crypto community. According to CertiK\u2019s \u201cHack3d: The Web3 Security Report 2024,\u201d phishing scams were among the leading causes of crypto losses, with over $1 billion in losses across 296 campaigns in 2024. This marked a 21% increase from the previous year.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/ripple-ceo-meets-with-donald-trump-sparking-optimism-for-2025-crypto-market\/\" title=\"Ripple CEO Meets with Donald Trump, Sparking Optimism for 2025 Crypto Market\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Brad-Garlinghouse1-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Ripple CEO Meets with Donald Trump, Sparking Optimism for 2025 Crypto Market<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>In addition to phishing, cybersecurity threats have become more sophisticated. In September 2024, McAfee researchers identified a malware called SpyAgent, affecting Android devices. Disguised as legitimate apps, SpyAgent used optical character recognition (OCR) to scan and extract sensitive information, such as cryptocurrency private keys, from stored images. The malware spread through text message links, bypassing Google\u2019s app store security.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Decentraland, a virtual reality platform on the Ethereum network, faced a breach on its X social media page. Hackers used the compromised account to distribute phishing links and promoted a fake MANA token airdrop, tricking users into connecting their wallets and draining their funds. This highlights the growing risk of phishing and malware in the Web3 space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OKX, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, has issued a warning regarding
