🔴 Hackers are attacking through fake Office extensions — over 4,600 wallets stolen

Experts from Kaspersky Lab are sounding the alarm: hackers are spreading malware through fake Microsoft Office add-ons. The goal is mining on your computer and stealing crypto by substituting addresses.

📌 How it works:

– The malware is disguised as Office extensions

– Spread through the SourceForge website

– The victim runs the installer → the system gets infected

– ClipBanker changes the cryptocurrency wallet address in the clipboard

– Money transfers go to the attackers

– Already 4,604 users have been affected, of which 90% are in Russia

📉 Impact: negative — a blow to trust in alternative software sources and an increased risk among crypto investors.

📜 Historical fact:

A similar ClipBanker was used in attacks in 2021. At that time, the virus replaced addresses of more than 10,000 users — the damage amounted to over $2.5 million.
