🚨ALERT🚨 Beware of “Clipper” malware
🔔According to the Binance blog: A global malware threat is currently targeting cryptocurrency users by altering withdrawal addresses, leading to significant financial losses.
💀This malicious software, known as “Clipper malware,” manipulates wallet addresses copied during transactions and redirects funds to attackers’ wallets without users realizing it.
How the malware works The malware attacks the clipboard, where e-wallet addresses are stored during cryptocurrency transfers.
When a user copies and pastes a wallet address, the malware replaces the legitimate address with one controlled by the attacker. If users don’t notice this change, their cryptocurrency is sent to the attacker instead of the intended recipient.
👾This attack has intensified recently, especially on August 27, 2024, affecting a large number of users. Binance Response The Binance Security Team is actively working to protect users by:
🔹️Blacklisting suspicious addresses: We are blocking addresses of known attackers, preventing future fraudulent transactions.
🔹️Notifying affected users: We have alerted users whose wallets may have been compromised, encouraging them to inspect their devices for malicious software.
🔹️Monitoring and combating threats: Our team continuously scans for new threats and updates security measures to stay ahead of evolving malware.
💡Always DYOR and protect your assets!
