# ⚠️ Security Alert: "Clipper" Malware Infects Over 28,000 Users



Cybersecurity firm Doctor Web has discovered malware disguised as legitimate software (office programs, game cheats, trading bots) that has compromised over 28,000 people, mainly in Russia, but also in Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkey.

**How the attack works:**
- The malware hijacks processing resources for cryptocurrency mining
- Monitors wallet addresses copied to the device clipboard
- Replaces them with attacker-controlled addresses to steal funds

**What we know:**
- Attackers have only obtained ~$6,000 in direct cryptocurrency
- Total mining profits are still unknown
- Distribution: Fraudulent GitHub + malicious links in YouTube descriptions

**Tip:** Double-check links before downloading third-party tools. Were you already aware of this type of attack?
