Monero’s official website was hacked and binaries for the Monero wallet were replaced with malicious versions. Security researcher BartBlaze says the malicious binaries are programmed to steal and send users’ wallet seed to a remote attacker-controlled server. At least one user on Reddit claimed to have lost $7000 after installing the malicious Linux binary. Monero officials assured its users that the compromised files were online for a very short amount of time and that the binaries are now served from another safe source. The identity of hackers is still unknown.
