A new report has revealed that a trojanized fake Tor Browser has been quietly spying on and stealing Bitcoin
from unwary Darknet users for years.
If you are not careful with what you download then you will end up giving your entire access to the hacker.

Aimed at Russian Darknet users, the malware is being spread through two separate websites claiming to be
distributors of the “official” Russian-language version of the popular anonymous web browser.
Scammers come up with original looking Phishing sites. If you are careful then you do not need to worry later.

Once installed, the browser allows the hackers to spy on users’ web activity, scrape form data, and – as it
turns out – steal their bitcoins.
If the software you use has a backdoor then it can monitor all your activities.
