Based Apparel Website Goes Dark Amid Malware Concerns
- Based Apparel, linked to FBI Director Kash Patel, was flagged for distributing “ClickFix” malware.
- The malware targeted macOS users, stealing session tokens and crypto assets via terminal commands.
- MetaMask users received warnings about potential malicious transactions on the site.
- The site typically garners around an estimated monthly traffic of 33,600 visits.
- Patel has faced similar crypto controversies before, including a data leak incident.
Based Apparel’s website went offline after being identified as a source of wallet-draining malware targeting macOS users through deceptive terminal commands. This is not the first time Kash Patel has been embroiled in crypto-related issues.
Despite the website’s shutdown, it remains unclear if there were significant financial losses due to the malware attack that affected an estimated monthly visitor count of over thirty thousand people.(Source)
