Kaspersky Reveals SourceForge Malware Targeting Crypto Users

A new malware campaign targeting cryptocurrency users, primarily Russian speakers, has been discovered by Kaspersky researchers. The malicious software was distributed through fake Microsoft Office add-ins on SourceForge between January and March 2025. Over 4,600 individuals were affected, with the malware aimed at hijacking clipboard data to redirect cryptocurrency funds. While no significant disruption in major cryptocurrencies has been reported, Kaspersky’s Anti-Malware Research Team warns that this attack exemplifies the vulnerability of users relying on unofficial software downloads.
