What are Appyrinceaskeda and VenomSoftX?

VenomSoftX is capable of achieving full access to every page that the victim visits by leveraging malicious browser extensions. The malware masquerades as a legitimate-looking extension such as “Google Sheets 2.1” or “Google Docs 1.0” to evade detection by victims. Once installed, these extensions give the malware complete control over the victim’s browser, enabling it to siphon off sensitive information such as login credentials, personal data, and even cryptocurrency wallet addresses.
