So there's currently a new disastrous malware going viral capable of stealing crypto related data and information from the Web browser and crypto wallets on any mobile phone/ computer it is already on. It compresses the information and data collected into a folder before finally sending it to the hackers who can access the wallets of their victims with the information they have and when it's done, it deletes itself hence no one knows it was there in the first place.

It is advertised through a YouTube video where it is disguised as a "Free" Bitcoin mining software to lure is victims , and from the descriptions and efficiency, this is one of the most brilliant and most sofisticated malwares in recent times.

The decentralized structure of the cypto industry makes individuals associated with cryptos a high target for scams, threats and attacks. People could easily get away with crimes in the crypto space and this is why most hackers pay attention to cryptos these days.

Although, there are reports that the hackers may be Russian since the data and information collected from the victims computer and translated to Russian. This kinda gives some details about the attacker and could help track the down.

This is a time when quite alot of scams, attacks and hacks plague the crypto industry. Since it's the bear market, there's no much money flowing around and people are quite desperate to lay their hands on the money of others. This is why we have to stay vigilant and really careful of our actions when surfing the internet.

"If it's too good to be true, it is most likely not true". Looking for free money around the Internet could only get us in so much troubles and make us end up as victims to attackers like this. Currently, the malware is spreading really fast and getting quite the reputation. So guys, be watchful of what you click on and what ever is served to you as "Free".
