Scam Sniffer reports that attackers are distributing sophisticated malware through fake verification bots, trading groups, airdrop groups and 'exclusive' alpha groups. When users fall for the fake verification process, malicious code is injected into their clipboard, downloading malware upon execution. Attackers then gain access to victims' passwords, crypto wallet and browser data. The security firm explained that exploiters have adopted this tactic because users have become more cautious of known crypto scams, and the new malware expands their reach through Telegram. "No legitimate crypto service will ever ask you to execute commands, install verification software, run scripts from your clipboard," with latest data showing losses from cryptocurrency scams and hacks totaled $2.2 billion in 2024, representing a 24% increase.
