Fake NFT game beta lures devs into running malicious AppleScript installer
QuixiAI · x · 2026-11-13
QuixiAI flags a social engineering attempt: an account posing as "7racker" pushed an NFT game called AdventureVale with fake website, X account, whitepaper, a "beta access code," and NFT rewards to persuade targets to run a compiled AppleScript installer InstallerAdventureVale.scpt (12,074 bytes, SHA-256 ab0f4b63...). A useful cautionary example of game-beta-bait malware social engineering.
