Microsoft has identified a malware campaign exploiting the BNB Smart Chain to host malicious infrastructure that is difficult to remove. Attackers inject malicious JavaScript into legitimate websites, which interacts with smart contracts on the BNB Chain to deliver malware payloads like Lumma Stealer and AsyncRAT. This method makes takedown efforts harder since only the wallet owner can alter the smart contract. Microsoft advises users not to execute commands from suspicious CAPTCHAs and recommends enabling security features like Microsoft Defender and restricting command-line utilities to prevent infections.
