Cardano users beware of phishing attacks: disguised Eternl Desktop release lures installation of malware

According to market news, a sophisticated phishing attack targeting Cardano users is spreading announcements disguised as the "Eternl Desktop" wallet, luring users to download and install a malicious MSI file containing remote control tools.

The attackers have forged an official tone and referenced NIGHT and ATMA token incentives, using the domain download.eternldesktop.network to distribute unsigned installation packages. Security researchers revealed that the file contains the LogMeIn Resolve component, which allows for remote command execution and persistent system control. Users are advised to obtain wallet software only through official channels.
