⚠️ TL;DR
Microsoft has sounded the alarm on StilachiRAT, a newly discovered malware trojan designed to steal crypto wallet data directly from the Google Chrome browser.
It actively scans for wallet browser extensions and compromises assets like $BTC and $ETH , putting millions of users at risk.
🧠 What Is StilachiRAT?
🧬 StilachiRAT is a Remote Access Trojan (RAT), meaning it can:
Remotely access and control your computer
Extract private keys, seed phrases, and login credentials
Spy on browser activity, targeting extensions like MetaMask and other popular Chrome wallets
Unlike generic viruses, this one is crypto-specific — designed to zero in on digital wallets holding assets such as $BTC and $ETH.
🔐 How It Works
✅ Disguises itself in cracked software, email attachments, or fake wallet apps
🔍 Scans Chrome extensions and local storage for wallet info
📤 Exfiltrates data back to attackers via secure command servers
🚫 No seed phrase = no chance of recovery — once your keys are gone, your funds are gone.
🛡️ What You Can Do to Stay Safe
To protect your assets:
🔒 Never download software from untrusted sources
🧑💻 Use a hardware wallet for long-term storage
🧼 Regularly clear browser cache and disable unused extensions
🧠 Most importantly, never store your seed phrase in any browser-based wallet
📢 Final Thoughts
This is a wake-up call for all crypto users — even holding $BTC or $ETH in your browser wallet is now riskier than ever.
With attackers evolving fast, your best defense is offline security and caution.
