COINBASE (COIN), METAMACK -TEGN BOOKS IN EMERGINE TO MALWARE, Microsoft says

Tech Giant Microsoft shared a new report warned about malware targeting 20 of the most popular cryptocurrency -draw books used with Google Chrome extension.

Microsoft’s incidental responders raised alarms from a new remote access Trojan (rat), called Stilachirate, which could implement “sophisticated techniques to avoid detection, persist in the target environment and exfilter sensitive data,” the team divided into a blog post.

According to the team, malware was discovered in November 2024, and it could steal users’ wallet information, and any credentials, including usernames and passwords, stored in their Google Chrome browser. Stilachirate is targeted at 20 crypto drawing books including some of the most commonly used used such as Metamask, Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, OKX Wallet and BNB Chain Wallet.

While malware has not been distributed widely, Microsoft shared that it has not been able to identify which device is behind the threat and set some remedial guidelines for current goals, including the installation of antivirus software.
