Refi Hub Co-Founder: Claude Chat Link Delivered Malware Attack

Author

Numa Lunah, the co-founder of Refi Hub, says a transcription-app download shared through a Claude chat window led to a malware infection on his device. The download purported to direct users to a legitimate site but instead pointed to a spoofed webpage bundled with malicious software designed to harvest data from the laptop.

Lunah reformatted the affected machine and reported no evidence of data leakage. In his backups, he later found a compromised Claude Code skill file named SKILL.md that had been disguised as a style guide he authored and allegedly contained instructions to trigger the malware again and to steal credentials.

Microsoft Defender Experts have warned that attackers are shifting away from poisoning search results toward corrupting large language model responses. Reported tactics include attacker-controlled download links, fake AI-branded installers, and compromised code repositories and agent skills.

The analysis notes that workers in the crypto sector may possess irreversible credentials such as seed phrases, private key files, hot wallet JSON files, exchange API keys with withdrawal permissions, and deployer keys, underscoring the potential impact of credential theft.

Author

Numa Lunah, a co-founder of Refi Hub, says he was breached after installing a transcription app that was delivered through a download link in a Claude chat window. The link redirected him to a spoofed website that carried malware designed to harvest data from his device.

Lunah wiped and reinstalled the laptop involved and initially found no obvious data leakage. In a later review, he discovered a compromised Claude Code skill file named SKILL.md in his backups. The file had been disguised as a style guide he authored and included instructions to redownload the malware on each load and to steal credentials.

Microsoft Defender Experts have warned that attackers are shifting from SEO poisoning to large language model answer poisoning. Reported tactics include attacker-controlled download links, AI-branded fake installers, and compromised code repositories and agent skills.

The advisory notes that crypto industry workers may hold sensitive, irreversible credentials such as seed phrases, private key files, hot wallet JSON files, exchange API keys with withdrawal permissions, and deployer keys.
