Chainalysis: Malicious Blockchain Inscriptions Up 440% Year-Over-Year

  • —Average daily malicious inscriptions rose from 2.06 to 11.1, up 440%
  • —Blockchain Dead Drops store C2 data in transactions and smart contracts
  • —EtherHiding on BSC was used by North Korea's UNC5342 and Iranian groups
  • —Open-weight AI models lower the technical bar for launching such campaigns
Why it matters: Blockchain records cannot be deleted, so the rise of BDD complicates malware takedowns and raises risks for wallets and exchanges.
