**Crypto Malware Hits Thousands, Nets Just $6K**
A recent report from cybersecurity firm Doctor Web reveals that malware has infected over 28,000 users, primarily in Russia and neighboring countries, to mine and steal cryptocurrency. Disguised as legitimate software like office programs and game cheats, the malware has only managed to grab around $6,000 worth of crypto.
Key Points:
- Malware spread via fake GitHub pages and YouTube links.
- Infected devices hijacked for crypto mining.
- "Clipper" malware swaps copied crypto wallet addresses with those controlled by hackers.
- Malware employs sophisticated techniques to evade detection.
Doctor Web advises users to download software only from official sources to avoid such threats.
