Binance BlogPostFocusing on crypto security, Binance pointed out that a global malware problem has been discovered, which has seriously affected cryptocurrency transactions by changing the withdrawal address during the transaction process. This malware is often called "Clipper malware" and intercepts data stored in the clipboard, mainly targeting cryptocurrency wallet addresses.
The Binance security team is actively addressing this issue through a number of measures:
- Blacklisting of suspicious addresses: The attacker addresses have been blacklisted to prevent further fraudulent transactions. This move has successfully blocked multiple withdrawal attempts by potential victims.
- User Notification: Affected users have been informed about the malware and are advised to check their devices for any suspicious software or plugins.
- Incident Reporting: Affected users are asked to share details about their incident to help us identify and analyze the malware and plugins involved.
- Continuous Monitoring: The Binance team continuously monitors new threats and updates security protocols accordingly.
