What happened

Cisco Talos researchers found a new program called VOLTA that secretly steals logins and cryptocurrency wallets from Windows computers. It then uses an AI model to work out which victims are worth the most to criminals. Anyone who may have been affected should change their passwords and move any crypto funds to a new wallet.

What to do

Restrict or alert on processes launching Chrome with the --headless flag.
Store credentials in hardware-backed stores.
Revoke any potentially compromised tokens and change passwords.
If a cryptocurrency wallet's seed phrase was in plaintext on disk, treat the wallet as fully compromised and migrate funds to a new wallet with a seed generated on an air-gapped device.
