According to Cointelegraph, tech giant Microsoft has discovered a new type of remote access Trojan (RAT), which targets 20 cryptocurrency wallet extensions in Google Chrome, stealing crypto assets therein. The Microsoft Incident Response Team revealed in a March 17 blog post that they first detected the malware called StilachiRAT last November. The software can steal credentials, digital wallet information, and clipboard data stored in the browser. After deployment, attackers can use StilachiRAT to scan the configuration information of 20 cryptocurrency wallet extensions to steal encrypted wallet data, including Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, MetaMask, and OKX Wallet.
