Kaspersky has identified a new malware, Stealka, which poses a significant threat to cryptocurrency users by stealing sensitive information such as browser credentials and wallet data. Discovered in late 2025, Stealka spreads through platforms like GitHub and SourceForge, masquerading as pirated software. The malware employs advanced obfuscation techniques to bypass traditional security measures.
This development highlights a growing trend in cyber threats, with password-stealing attacks increasing by nearly 60% year-on-year. Kaspersky's warning underscores the need for enhanced security measures among crypto users to protect their digital assets from such sophisticated threats.
