On-chain links

C2 hosts this address pointed malware at, newest first. Dates are when the value was written on-chain, and Transaction opens the one that first wrote it; a row without one is a tie a cited report states. A host whose verdict is decoy was written between real values and is not C2. See the EtherHiding Tracker.

Ethereum contract 0x85a6d913aaC80286f01Fa082ef0B96C188673043 EtherHiding contract for extension configuration

Notes:

Ethereum contract the report lists as holding the configuration for the malicious Chrome MV3 extension delivered by the same chain, which it says is disguised under the name "Google Drive Offline". The report notes the two configuration contracts carry byte-identical code and zero balances. Transcribed from the report's own indicator table. Unlike the entries on this page drawn from contracts this site read directly, nothing here has been verified on-chain: the checker could not reach an RPC endpoint from where this was recorded, and a failed query is recorded as failed rather than filled in. Treat it as the report's claim until checked.
