### Cybersecurity alert: Disguised software hides secrets, 28,000 users are infected!

Hello everyone! Today we are going to talk about an incident that has recently attracted widespread attention in the blockchain circle. Cybersecurity company Doctor Web recently released a report revealing that a malware disguised as legitimate software is quietly working. This malware not only infected more than 28,000 users, but also caused many people to lose cryptocurrency. 😱

#### The true face of the disguised software

This time the malware is very cleverly disguised, pretending to be an office program, a game cheat program, and even an online trading robot. It mainly spreads in Russia, but also affects Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkey. Hackers obtained about $6,000 worth of cryptocurrency through these disguised software.

#### Malware transmission channels

According to Doctor Web reports, the sources of these malware include some fraudulent GitHub pages and YouTube video descriptions with malicious links. Hackers use these platforms to spread malware, and once users download and install it, the device will be infected.

#### How malware works

Once the device is infected, the malware secretly deploys and hijacks computing resources to mine cryptocurrency. In addition, this malware monitors the crypto wallet addresses copied to the user's clipboard and then replaces them with addresses controlled by the attacker. This is how they steal small amounts of cryptocurrency.

#### How to protect yourself?

Although this incident mainly occurred in a specific region, each of us should be vigilant. When downloading software, be sure to choose official channels and avoid clicking on unknown links. In addition, regularly updating antivirus software and operating systems is also an effective way to protect yourself.
