Counter.wmail-service.com serves as an essential Command & Control server that plays an essential role in the distribution and management of VenomSoftX malware, a JavaScript-based remote access trojan designed primarily to steal cryptocurrency transactions while hijacking them, but which also performs other malicious tasks such as fingerprinting machines, capturing clipboard content and executing additional payloads or commands.

What is Counter.wmail-service and VenomSoftX?

VenomSoftX can gain full access to any page a victim visits by exploiting malicious browser extensions. The malware poses as legitimate-appearing extensions such as “Google Sheets 2.1” or “Google Docs 1.0” so as not to alert victims; once installed, these extensions give VenomSoftX full control over victim browsers allowing it to siphon sensitive information such as login credentials, personal data and cryptocurrency wallet addresses from it.

VenomSoftX’s greatest strength lies in its capability of performing man-in-the-browser attacks, or “man in the browser attacks”. These exploits involve manipulating API requests’ data on popular cryptocurrency exchanges in order to perform address swapping attacks that allow an attacker to steal cryptocurrency holdings by swapping out victim wallet addresses for their attacker’s addresses and swapping out real wallet addresses with fake addresses containing stolen cryptocurrency holdings. Furthermore, VenomSoftX can capture clipboard content, steal login credentials, and manipulate crypto addresses on visited websites – making its capability especially dangerous.
