Malware Hijacks Bitcoins by Changing Clipboard-Copied Addresses

...this particular Trojan can be detected across a fair few criminal forums. Bleeping Computer also states that this malware has been discovered in the wild, although it remains a mystery if that is part of a targeted diffused campaign. One can find Bitcoin users all over the world, and most of them take computer security very seriously. Nevertheless, when a tool like this one comes around and alters the copied Bitcoin address on one’s computer clipboard, there is very little one can do to impede the attack.

It seems the Evrial Trojan is also capable of hijacking browser cookies and browser credentials. That is not an abnormal behavior in the class of Trojans, although it is another thing to worry about as far as this remarkable jerk is concerned. Hijacking cryptocurrency payments and even Steam trades seem to be the primary aim of the malware’s developers, although it is still unclear what they aspire to achieve by hijacking Steam trades also.
