ARTICLE ADIn a shocking turn of events, the LottieFiles Lotti-Player project was compromised in a supply chain attack designed to inject a crypto drainer into websites, stealing users’ cryptocurrency.
Recent reports reveal that this attack led to significant losses, with one victim allegedly losing $723,000 worth of Bitcoin due to malicious code injected into versions 2.0.5, 2.0.6, and 2.0.7 of the Lottie Web Player. ⚠️
Scam Sniffer, a blockchain threat monitoring platform, highlighted that the compromised code prompts users to connect their cryptocurrency wallets. Unfortunately, when users connect, their assets are siphoned away by cyber criminals. 💰
Fortunately, LottieFiles quickly responded by releasing a clean version (2.0.8) to mitigate the damage. However, developers using third-party CDNs without pinned versions were vulnerable to the attack. LottieFiles advises all users to upgrade immediately or revert to version 2.0.4 until they can ensure their systems are safe. 📈🔒
