A cryptojacking campaign that encompasses the use of over 700K cryptocurrency addresses has been unveiled by cybersecurity company Ciberark. Massjacker is a crypto jacking tool, meaning that it hijacks the clipboard of the infected devices, changing the cryptocurrency addresses into others, and making people deposit crypto to addresses different than the ones intended. Ciberark estimated that over $300K had been stolen using this malware, which originated in pesktop[.]com, a site that distributes pirated software. Nonetheless, while Ciberark believed this to be the work of a single threat actor or group, it acknowledged several actors could be linked to this campaign.
