Binance has discovered malware that changes cryptocurrency withdrawal addresses

The malware is called Clipper and intercepts data from the clipboard.

When a user copies and pastes a wallet address for a transfer, the malware replaces the original address with the one specified by the attacker. If the user completes the transfer without noticing the change, the cryptocurrency is sent to the attacker's wallet.

The spike in activity for this issue was recorded on August 27, 2024.

Binance urged people to be careful with installed plugins and apps, especially on Android and computers, and to be careful with iOS. #binance
