Kash Patel-Linked Apparel Store Goes Dark After Pushing Crypto-Stealing Malware

An apparel website linked to FBI Director Kash Patel briefly went offline after researchers and users reported it pushed “ClickFix” wallet‑draining malware to macOS visitors, prompting MetaMask to flag the site as “potentially deceptive.” The infostealer prompted users to run a terminal command that could expose session tokens, browser data and crypto wallets. It’s unclear whether any substantial funds were stolen; the store typically draws roughly 33,600 monthly visits. Market impact is limited and indirect, but such security incidents can erode user confidence in self‑custody tools and raise short‑term risk aversion among retail crypto users.
