Self-Replicating Malware Takes Aim at Privacy Coin Dero—Because Hackers Love a Challenge
Self-Replicating Malware Takes Aim at Privacy Coin Dero—Because Hackers Love a Challenge

Privacy-focused cryptocurrency Dero just became the latest target in a wave of sophisticated self-spreading malware attacks. The exploit—which propagates autonomously across networks—highlights the growing crosshairs on privacy coins as regulators tighten the screws.
Security researchers spotted the strain actively probing Dero nodes, though the attack vector remains unclear. Unlike traditional malware, this variant doesn’t need user interaction—it scans, infects, and moves on like a crypto-themed flu.
Irony alert: A coin designed to evade surveillance now faces digital pathogens evading its defenses. Meanwhile, Wall Street still can’t decide if privacy tokens are ‘the future’ or just a compliance headache waiting to happen.
