🚨SlowMist TI Alert🚨
Attackers posing as a Web3 company used a remote job interview as a pretext to ask a candidate to deploy and run a project locally:
hxxps://bitbucket[.]org/poc_review58/demoroyalcity
Disguised as a real estate and crypto investment application, RoyalCity contained obfuscated malicious code in tailwind.config.js. Running or building the project can trigger payloads capable of stealing browser credentials and wallet extension data, exfiltrating local files, monitoring clipboard contents, and enabling remote control.
A separate server-side backdoor in errorHandler.js retrieves and executes remote code.
This case closely resembles the recruitment-themed GitHub poisoning attack we previously analyzed, sharing the interview lure, execution through Tailwind, and highly similar payloads for data theft and remote access.
Our previous analysis (https://slowmist.medium.com/threat-intelligence-analysis-of-a-github-poisoning-attack-disguised-as-recruitment-30fe23601305) provides more detail on this attack pattern.

⚠️ Verify recruiters independently. Review unfamiliar projects before running them, and keep interview tasks isolated from your everyday development environment, wallets, and sensitive credentials.

As always, stay vigilant!
