Binance: crypto users need to pay attention to "clipboard" malicious software
In a blog post focused on crypto security, Binance pointed out that it has discovered a global malicious software issue that significantly affects cryptocurrency transactions by changing withdrawal addresses during transactions. This malicious software, commonly referred to as "clipper malware", intercepts data stored in the clipboard, mainly targeting cryptocurrency wallet addresses.
The Binance security team is actively addressing this issue through various measures:
Blacklisting Suspicious Addresses: Attacker addresses have been blacklisted to prevent further fraudulent transactions. This move has successfully blocked multiple withdrawal attempts by potential victims.
User Notification: Affected users have been informed about the malicious software and advised to check their devices for any suspicious software or plugins.
Incident reporting: Affected users are asked to share details about their incident to help us identify and analyze the malicious software and plugins involved.
Continuous monitoring: The Binance team continuously monitors new threats and updates security protocols accordingly.
