ApocalypseClipper Malware

The ApocalypseClipper Malware is a small-sized cyber-threat that does not pack many features. Instead, it is meant to work as a clipboard hijacker that can be used to replace cryptocurrency wallet addresses with ones used by the threat's operators. Thanks to this functionality, the ApocalypseClipper Malware may be used to hijack cryptocurrency transfers by replacing the recipient's wallet silently when the victim tries to copy it. Such malware became a frequent occurrence with the rising popularity of cryptocurrency, and, unfortunately, it seems that malware developers have started to rent out or sell such threats.

The ApocalypseClipper Malware, in particular, is sold on Russian hacking forums by users that call themselves 'ballxxn.' They charge less than $10 for a personalized version of the threat – they also offer to rebuild the payload for a small fee of $1-2. This turns the ApocalypseClipper Malware into a very affordable hacking tool, and it would not be a surprise if many cybercriminals decide to experiment with it.

The ApocalypseClipper Malware monitors the clipboard actively and checks for wallet addresses used by Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Monero, Doge, Das and other cryptocurrencies. Furthermore, ApocalypseClipper Malware can hijack money transfers related to popular online services like Yandex Money, Qiwi RU, Payeer, WM and WMZ.

While the ApocalypseClipper Malware may not be the most advanced threat on the market, its affordable price may attract a lot of interest. It is recommended to keep yourself protected from potential attacks by using an up-to-date anti-virus software suite.
