SlowMist Q4 2025 Security Report: Covert Phishing via Autocomplete Redirects Threatens Crypto Wallets as Malware Attacks Surge
According to SlowMist‘s Fourth Quarter 2025 Security Incident Analysis, a new covert phishing vector can thwart even careful entry of the official URL. Users typing the correct domain may still be redirected to a counterfeit site as attackers pollute browser autocomplete data via ads, social channels, or fraudulent announcements, setting a trap for subsequent visits to a near‑perfect replica of the legitimate site.
This abuse is not a result of user error; once the phishing domain is cached, routine verification may fail. Readers should rely on trusted bookmarks, confirm URLs beyond the address bar, and enable robust two-factor authentication to reduce exposure, minimizing digital asset risk to wallet data.
Separately, malware activity is climbing as attackers deploy malicious payloads through phishing links, private messages, or disguised downloads. Infected devices threaten cryptocurrency wallet security and keys, underscoring the importance of endpoint hygiene and proactive integrity checks.
