🔴 Hackers are attacking through fake Office extensions — over 4,600 wallets stolen
Experts from Kaspersky Lab are sounding the alarm: hackers are spreading malware through fake Microsoft Office add-ons. The goal is mining on your computer and stealing crypto by substituting addresses.
📌 How it works:
– The malware is disguised as Office extensions
– Distributed through the SourceForge website
– The victim runs the installer → the system gets infected
– ClipBanker changes the cryptocurrency wallet address in the clipboard
– Money is transferred to the attackers
– Already 4,604 users have been affected, of which 90% are in Russia
📉 Impact: negative — a blow to trust in alternative software sources and an increased risk among crypto investors.
📜 Historical fact:
A similar ClipBanker was used in attacks in 2021. At that time, the virus replaced addresses for more than 10,000 users — the damage exceeded $2.5 million.
