Microsoft discovered Stilathirat, a new malware that threatens crypto investors. This advanced Trojan can collect system information and play sensitive data from crypto wallets. Although it has not yet spread widely, experts warn that this threat may grow rapidly.
How does Stiachirat threaten crypto investors?
Stilachirat is not only a simple malware, but also an advanced cyber attack tool targeting crypto investors. According to Microsoft’s report on March 17, this trojan is launching a detailed discovery process after infiltrating a system.
First of all, it scans the operating system, hardware information and active remote desktop protocols. It then plays the input information stored in Chrome and the sensitive data on the users’ panel. Popular wallets such as Metamask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Tronlink and Okx Wallet are at risk.
According to Microsoft, Stiachirat can delete the security records of the computer and take advanced measures to avoid being detected. This makes it more resistant to traditional antivirus software.
Microsoft warned crypto investors!
Microsoft recommends that users take some measures to protect them from malicious software. It is critical to download software from unknown sources, to pay attention to e-mail attachments and to interrupt security updates.
The company also emphasizes that multi -factor authentication (MFA) should be used and real -time safety software should be enabled. Browser protection systems such as Microsoft Defender and Smartscreen can also provide additional security against malicious sites.
Crypto -based frauds can break a record in 2025!
