Abstract

This chapter analyzes wallet drainers, crypto stealers, and cryptojacking. It begins with a discussion of the types and uses of crypto wallets and vanity wallet addresses. We then analyze the anatomy of the Binance CZ Fake wallet attack case study including the use of dust transactions and crypto address poisoning. The chapter proceeds to discuss wallet drainers, crypto stealers, and information stealers. Next, we cover malware as a service (MAAS), distribution methods of wallet drainers, and ransomware. Finally, we conclude with an analysis of cryptojacking and illegal crypto mining operations.
