Recent cybercriminals have targeted users of Atomic and Exodus wallets through open-source software repositories. By distributing malware-infected packages, attackers steal users’ private keys and empty their digital assets. One dangerous tool in this attack modifies the clipboard to change wallet addresses during transactions, diverting assets to the attacker’s account. Even after removing the malicious packages, infected codes remain active. For complete cleansing, users must uninstall infected software and reinstall from reputable sources. Researchers have also identified similar campaigns via SourceForge, distributing fake Microsoft Office installers containing malware. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, over $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency assets were stolen, with the largest event being the $1.4 billion hack of Bybit exchange in February.
