Hackers Use Web3 and Blockchain C2 to Hide Supply Chain Attacks Targeting Cloud Credentials

Cybersecurity NewsOctober 8, 20264 min read

Threat actors are increasingly turning public blockchain networks into a command-and-control (C2) layer for software supply chain malware, helping them rotate infrastructure without changing the malicious code already running on developer systems. The method gives criminals a resilient way to direct infected packages toward new data-theft servers while making traditional domain blocklists less effective.

Threat actors are increasingly turning public blockchain networks into a command-and-control (C2) layer for software supply chain malware, helping them rotate infrastructure without changing the malicious code already running on developer systems. The method gives criminals a resilient way to direct infected packages toward new data-theft servers while making traditional domain blocklists less effective. The risk is especially serious for cloud-focused organizations. Poisoned open-source packages can run inside developer laptops and CI/CD pipelines, where they may access temporary cloud identity…
