Summary

Hide ▲

The Safery: Ethereum Wallet Chrome extension is exfiltrating seed phrases from would-be Ethereum wallet users, creating a path to wallet draining and asset theft. It hides the theft by encoding mnemonics as fake Sui addresses and sending 0.000001 SUI microtransactions from an attacker-controlled wallet. The extension was uploaded to the Chrome Web Store on September 29, 2025, updated on November 12, and remained available at the time of reporting.

    Initial Disclosure

    Researchers disclosed a malicious Chrome extension named Safery: Ethereum Wallet on the Chrome Web Store that impersonates an Ethereum wallet and exfiltrates users' seed phrases by encoding mnemonics as fake Sui addresses, then broadcasting 0.000001 SUI microtransactions from an attacker-controlled wallet so the seed phrase can be reconstructed and victims' funds drained.
