The cryptocurrency space has been a victim of various cryptocurrency hacking, cryptojacking, scams, and more. Recently Cybercriminals hacked StatCounter, one of the largest website traffic analytics platforms. The hackers transferred malicious code into more than 600,000 websites. The purpose was to gain access to Bitcoin held at the cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io.

Hackers had also tried to hide their tracks by using a various Bitcoin address for each new victim that falls prey to the malware. Users won’t see the change of address until it’s too late, as the malware is designed to trigger after the user clicks on the submit button to transfer funds.
