Info stealer drains $100K in crypto from 350+ victims

A malware strain called Underground is being linked to the theft of roughly $100,000 in cryptocurrency from more than 350 victims. The malware launches a victim's own signed-in Chrome or Edge browser, fakes a Binance two-factor authentication prompt to capture codes, and drains accounts. It also edits the withdrawal confirmation email inside the victim's webmail so nothing looks wrong, and uses a clipboard clipper to swap wallet addresses during transactions.
Why now: The sophisticated anti-detection trick of rewriting confirmation emails in webmail makes this info stealer notably dangerous to crypto holders.
