New Malware Targets Crypto Users Through Fake Microsoft Office Extensions

A recent cybersecurity alert warns of a new threat targeting cryptocurrency users via malicious software disguised as legitimate Microsoft Office add-ins. Kaspersky, a prominent security firm, has identified a fake project called ‘officepackage’ that appears genuine on the SourceForge hosting site but is in reality packed with ClipBanker malware. This malware steals crypto wallet addresses from user’s clipboard and redirects funds to attacker’s account.
