URGENT!! Microsoft warns about zero-day exploit!!

Microsoft has published a new security alert that may involve a hacker attack perpetrated by North Korea to steal cryptocurrencies worldwide.

The so-called zero-day vulnerabilities are those discovered by criminals before the manufacturers themselves. Thus, they take advantage of the gap in the systems to attack and steal, obtaining advantages and financial gains.

In the case of the attack that intended to steal cryptocurrencies, it is not clear how many victims suffered, nor how much amount was stolen. In any case, cryptocurrency investors who use browsers should pay attention to always keep their software updated to new versions.

Researchers found evidence that the North Korean hackers known as Diamond Sleet and Citrine Sleet shared data from the FudModule malware. In this way, they were able to obtain illicit advantages from the thefts. The security report does not make it clear whether the malware targeted cryptocurrency extensions, exchanges, wallets or other exploits, but it does make it clear that users' browsers were at risk. In a statement, Microsoft warned that as with any observed nation-state actor activity, targeted or compromised customers have already received notifications. This way, they can help protect their environments by avoiding the newly discovered problem. The main person responsible for the new attack discovered by Microsoft is the hacker Citrine Sleet, known for creating fake websites to attract his victims. Security engineers believe that he works on behalf of the North Korean government to steal cryptocurrencies and other financial products. Be very careful, guys, if anyone has questions about how to increase security to avoid scams, in my e-book "Cryptocurrencies Uncomplicated - A guide for beginners" which is available on Amazon.com.br, there is an exclusive topic on security.
