Atomic and Exodus Wallets Targeted in New Cybersecurity Exploit

Cybersecurity researchers have identified a dangerous new exploit targeting users of Atomic and Exodus wallets. Threat actors are uploading malicious software packages disguised as legitimate code to online repositories. These packages then infiltrate the wallets, overwriting core files to deceive users into sending cryptocurrency to scam addresses. The exploit leverages the widely used npm software packages, pre-built bundles of code used by developers.
