last month, I was contacted by someone on LinkedIn about a crypto related job and was asked to install software to view a site locally. it worked, but I did not audit it so it could have installed something malicious and shortly after, they stopped responding entirely. I didn’t think much of it at the time. tonight, I saw what appeared to be a large ETH transaction leaving my wallet, complete with a tx hash, block number, confirmations, and receiver. however: it only appeared for MY wallet, and none others it only appeared in my normal Firefox session (main browser) it disappeared completely in private mode it did not appear in other browsers (edge, chrome) i checked my wallet directly on my laptop and everything was fine real blockchain transactions don’t selectively appear based on browser state. that strongly suggests browser side manipulation or injected scripts rather than an actual on-chain event. given that I installed questionable software, I think it’s reasonable to consider whether this was an attempt to induce panic and a rushed wallet interaction, which is how people actually get burned. pic for reference: https://preview.redd.it/843herzz91dg1.png?width=1263&format=png&auto=webp&s=f43f48ae9505773b7048cd836410cbb8e5e9a9e8 submitted by /u/chemtrail_injection |
