Netgear and Hyundai MEA X Accounts Hacked to Push Crypto Malware
The official Netgear and Hyundai MEA X (formerly Twitter) accounts with a collective 160k followers were both hacked and renamed to push a crypto-draining malware.
Hyundai’s X account was renamed as “Overworld” impersonating a Binance-backed RPG game, while the Netgear account was used to reply to BRCapp Tweets, both luring followers to a malicious website that may lead to a crypto wallet draining malware. Since the hacks, Hyundai gained control of their X account while Netgear is still working on keeping the hackers at bay.
