Noir wallet drainer kit hides its backend behind DNS TXT records and DoH
Infoblox Threat Intel described Noir on 9 October 2026, a wallet-drainer kit that looks up its backend pool through DNS TXT records over public DNS-over-HTTPS, so operators can repoint every lure page by changing one record. Lures impersonate CoinMarketCap, DexScreener, OKX, Uniswap, Lido, Hyperliquid, Morpho, Ondo, LayerZero, MegaETH, Polymarket and others with fake votes, airdrop checks and swap clones. It steals by getting token spending permissions, then cuts the WalletConnect session to hide the trail. Infoblox gave no loss figures and says the kit was likely AI-developed.

Tampered Ledger wallets from an Asian reseller leak seed phrases; on-chain estimate puts losses near $102M
Ledger hardware wallets sold by CryptoBilis, a Southeast Asian reseller, had a hidden implant added after manufacture that read the 24-word recovery phrase during setup and sent it out over an LTE eSIM. Coordinated drains began on 9 October 2026 across TRON, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Solana and Bitcoin. Bitquery's on-chain estimate is about $102M from 324 wallets, and investigator Specter put it above $86M. Ledger has not confirmed a figure. Anyone who set up a Ledger bought from a third-party seller in the affected markets should move funds to a new seed made on a device bought direct.

Address poisoning hit nearly 4.5M Solana wallets; 1,104 sent $940K to lookalike addresses
Bitquery data reported by CryptoSlate shows scammers sent tiny 'dust' transfers from lookalike addresses to 4,497,798 Solana wallets between Oct 30, 2025 and Oct 7, 2026, betting that victims would later copy the fake address from their history. In a studied subset of poisoned wallets, 1,104 wallets paid a combined $940,106 to lookalikes, a figure the researchers call a floor. Receiving dust cannot drain a wallet; the loss happens only when you send to the wrong address. Copy addresses from your exchange's deposit page or a saved contact, never from transaction history.
