On Oct. 18, major antivirus software supplier ESET has discovered a "Trojanized" version of Tor Browser designed to steal Bitcoin from buyers in the darknet.
Targeting users in Russia, the fake Tor Browser was distributed via two websites and has been stealing crypto from darknet shoppers by swapping the original crypto addresses since 2017.
Earlier in October, ESET also flagged another form of malware stealing crypto from users.
Called "Casbaneiro" or "Metamorfo," the banking trojan targeted banks and crypto services located in Brazil and Mexico and has allegedly stolen 1.2 BTC at the time.
