Microsoft just flagged a nasty Tor-based clipper malware hitting crypto wallets hard.
How it spreads:
- Malicious .lnk files
- Infected USB drives
- Hidden Tor C2 servers
What it steals:
- Clipboard data
- Seed phrases
- Private keys
- Swaps wallet addresses mid-transaction
This is the nightmare scenario. You copy your address, paste it, send funds… but the malware already replaced it with the attacker's wallet.
Double-check EVERY address before hitting send. Hardware wallets only. No exceptions.
