The hacker uploaded a fake version of Hola VPN to the app store, which, in turn, compromised MyEtherWallet (MEW) for about five hours before it was finally taken down.
New details have emerged in the DNS attack that mimicked MyEtherWallet.com, ultimately stealing about $150,000 in ETH.
The wallet address linked to the attack has already conducted some 180 scam transactions, totalling as many as 215 ETH worth over $134,000 based on current trading prices.
