    " Cybersecurity researchers at Trustwave SpiderLabs have discovered a new strain of malware called Rilide that steals users’ cryptocurrencies. The malware masquerades as a legitimate Google Drive extension and allows cybercriminals to carry out a variety of activities including getting browsing history data, taking screenshots, and withdrawing funds from various cryptocurrency exchanges."

    "This thing modifies shortcuts on your desktop, so every time you open your browser it loads the virus. It then disables the Content Security Policy that would otherwise protect you from injection attacks. Finally, it automatically processes crypto withdrawals from any exchanges in your browser history. If the exchange sends a confirmation email to your inbox, this thing will replace the official message with its own forged content to trick you into revealing the code.

    Scary and nasty."

    My dear crypto friends, don't lose your crypto to a virus, lose it like a real man trading it on the exchange.
