Hello my friends,in this post i'm gonna tell you about the new Malware i.e. very dangerous for Crypto Traders usually while sending or receiving payments.What Security Steps to take and What Not to Do.Read the full post Carefully.
WHAT IS A MALWARE ?
A Malware is any software which is specifically designed to disrupt, damage, or gain authorized access to a computer system.
It can harm from normal aspects like creating shortcuts and boot loop to many personal and financial damages like stealing your personal data or your bank details etc.
WHAT TYPE OF MALWARE I'M TALKING ABOUT
The type of Malware I'm talking about is especially for those people who are in Crypto market .
We should be aware that in Cryptoverse there are tons of Viruses/Malwares made by hackers every other day , it should be us who should be carefull .
The malware that's hitting some PCs recently is a kind of Clipboard Hijacker, which can monitors our Windows Clipboard for Crypto Addresses .
Transferring digital currencies like Bitcoin and Altcoins require an Address which is usually very long and people tend to copy it simply on their clipboard and then copy paste to their desired sites where they are sending it.
HOW DOES THIS MALWARE MONITORS & WHAT'S IT'S FULL PROCESS ?
After copying an Address ,the user doubles check it to confirm itself.Now here's where the game is played by that Malware,it monitors you clipboard as soon as you copied it then it replaces it with the hackers Address and the user is left with no help at all.
This Malware was detected as part of the All-Radio 4.27 Portable malware package made available recently. When installed, a DLL named d3dx11_31.dll is downloaded to the Windows Temp folder and an autorun called “DirectX 11” will be created to run the DLL when a user logs in to the computer ,the DLL will be executed using rundll32.exe with following parameter “rundll32 C:\Users[UserName]\AppData\Local\Temp\d3dx11_31.dll,includes_func_runnded” and then this Command is executed.
HOW TO FIND THIS MALWARE & AS WELL AS PROTECT US .
These kinds of Malware are very very difficult to find due to they run in background with a name identical to that of Windows Services & there's no indication of its process.
The only way to get past this virus/malware is to have a good Antivirus and also make sure that's it isn't outdated.
second step you can do is to check your temp folder in the location mentioned above and see if there's any such type of file.
Final step is that we should not install apps or programs from untrusted sources or website because who knows that a simple game could have a Malware ,monitoring your data,but that doesn't mean you shouldn't install games.
We shouldn't install from untrusted websites and places only .
