Microsoft warns of new remote access Trojan targeting crypto wallets

According to Cointelegraph, tech giant Microsoft has discovered a new type of remote access Trojan (RAT) that specifically targets 20 cryptocurrency wallet extensions in Google's Chrome browser to steal crypto assets. Microsoft's incident response team revealed in a March 17 blog post that they first detected the malicious software called StilachiRAT last November. The software is capable of stealing credentials, digital wallet information, and clipboard data stored in the browser. Once deployed, attackers can use StilachiRAT to scan the configuration information of 20 cryptocurrency wallet extensions to steal crypto wallet data, including Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, MetaMask, and OKX Wallet.
