The Juniper Threat Labs group says “Masad Stealer sends the majority of the data it gathers [through] a Telegram bot constrained by the risk on-screen character.” This new malware targets Bitcoin, Monero (XMR), Cardano (ADA), Ether (ETH), (DASH), XRP, Litecoin (LTC) and such different cryptographic forms of cryptocurrencies.

So as to comprehend the gravity of the risk, process this reality: A location associated with ‘Masad Clipper and Stealer’ has gathered Bitcoin worth more than $9000 till date. The malware is being promoted on hacking discussions. It is really being sold through a layered methodology. It begins with a free form and it tends to be moved up to one with all highlights for $85.

But this is old news. As far as i know "threats" like these (copy + paste address swap and the like) have already been addressed by more recent updates of the major anti virus companies, esp. McAfee, AVG, etc.

If anything, people should be more aware of clicking links randomly posted on the internet.
