GlassWorm attack installs fake browser extension for surveillance

GlassWorm is a sophisticated malware targeting developers through compromised code repositories and package managers. It executes in stages, starting with a stealthy infection that fingerprints the machine and fetches further payloads via the Solana blockchain. The malware steals sensitive data, including cryptocurrency wallets and development credentials, installs a Remote Access Trojan (RAT), and deploys a fake Chrome extension for extensive surveillance. It uses distributed hash tables and blockchain for resilient command and control. While initially focused on developers with potential cryptocurrency assets, the stolen information could enable wider supply chain attacks. Prevention strategies include careful package management, regular extension audits, and up-to-date anti-malware solutions.

💰 Dragon vs Voice In vs Genie 007 — 2026 Reality Check

🐲 Dragon: $300-2500 + discontinued
🗣️ Voice In: $60/year but dictation-only
🧞 Genie 007: £40/year + voice-to-ACTION

The difference?
Voice In types what you say.
Genie 007 DOES what you say.

"Reply professionally" → Actually writes the reply
"Create LinkedIn post" → Done

Dictation is dead. Voice-to-action is the future.
