SlowMist: bookmark took Privy tokens; funds through Privacy Cash

09 Oct Grok window: SlowMist's fuller write-up says the malicious bookmark collected Privy login tokens, browser storage, and wallet data, with MFA-related logic in the payload.

MistTrack followed proceeds through USDC and SOL swaps, splits, cross-chain hops, Privacy Cash, and gambling sites. Still no published loss total and no confirmed link to the Frogman drain.

08 Oct 2026: SlowMist and Cos warned of phishing pages that pose as a human check and talk users into saving a bookmark that is really code. Clicking it while logged in to FOMO hands the session to the attacker, who can then move assets.

Cos ties the technique to Privy-style embedded-wallet logins and says people have already been hit; SlowMist says a fuller disclosure is coming. No loss total published. Research snapshot from SlowMist / Cos X and Lookonchain.

369 take

Embedded-wallet apps move the secret from the seed to the session. Never add a bookmark or paste a command from a fake verification page.

Prefer short-lived sessions and check FOMO login state after travel wifi.
