A new malware strain, known as StilachiRAT, has been identified by Microsoft as a significant threat to crypto users. This malware targets Google Chrome users, specifically those with crypto wallet extensions, to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and wallet credentials.

StilachiRAT scans for and extracts data from over 20 different Chrome-based crypto wallets, including popular ones like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Coinbase.

The malware operates covertly, evading detection while gathering extensive system data, including browser-stored credentials, clipboard contents, and system details.

It monitors clipboard actions to capture copied crypto keys and passwords, posing a direct threat to digital asset security.

StilachiRAT allows attackers to execute commands remotely, enabling them to manipulate system settings and maintain control over infected devices.

Microsoft has warned users about the potential dangers of this malware, emphasizing the need for robust security measures to prevent infections.

Users are advised to download software only from official sources, use browsers with built-in security features, and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to prevent unauthorized access.

In addition to StilachiRAT, other malware threats are targeting crypto users. For example, a threat involves malicious Chrome extensions which can drain crypto wallets by modifying transactions.
