Key Findings

  • On February 2, 2026, ZeroFox observed an actor using the alias “MysteryHack” advertising a malware suite called DeepLoad on the dark web forum Exploit. The actor described DeepLoad as a centralized panel for multiple types of malware; its primary function is to replace seven cryptocurrency wallet applications with counterfeit versions.
  • The actor claimed that a second DeepLoad feature, called Anti-Metamask, is designed to remove legitimate browser-based cryptocurrency wallets and replace them with fraudulent versions.
  • MysteryHack further claimed that they are developing a future DeepLoad module, which they described as an executable file that installs an unspecified browser extension offering fraudulent airdrops.
  • Due to DeepLoad’s wallet replacement, phishing automation, and persistent malware capabilities, ZeroFox assesses it is very likely a very sophisticated offering. DeepLoad’s design is explicitly focused on actively facilitating real-time cryptocurrency theft, which almost certainly makes it an attractive malware suite in the cybercrime-as-a-service (CaaS) environment.
