Malware Details which is used by the Hackers..........
Hackers know that many Bitcoin users when sending and receiving the BTC, they use copy and paste Bitcoin addresses.
So, they have created a computer malware – "cryptocurrency clipboard hijacker". Usually, this malware monitor between 350,000 and 550,000 addresses at a time. However, Computer has recently uncovered a clipboard hijacker that is monitoring more than 2 million Bitcoin addresses.
Virus was part of the All-Radio 4.27 Portable malware package. If a user unknowingly installed this infected program, a malicious DLL would be added to the person’s registry. This malicious DLL – d3dx11_31.dll creates an autorun program that works in the background and start swapping process.
How the Malware Works...........
Malware first search and detect Bitcoin addresses from our system. Once the malware detect a BTC address, it is swapped for another address owned by the hacker. It seems simple enough. so, there is no way to undo a cryptocurrency transaction once concluded. Since the hackers aren’t stealing funds directly from the wallet, But Many would argue is a security upgrade compared to mainstream network architecture.

When performing a transaction. before pasting address in the wallet application, copy whatever address shows up and paste it in the notepad. and Manually check both addresses to see that they match. Repeat this step as many times as possible. You can complete the transaction when all the checks are completed.
