Cybersecurity researchers at McAfee have uncovered 'Silent Swap,' a sophisticated malware campaign that installs a fake 'Google Notes' extension in Chromium browsers to steal cryptocurrencies. It intercepts copied wallet addresses for Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and others, replacing them with attacker-controlled addresses via server queries. The malware bypasses browser security by manipulating configuration files and uses advanced techniques like decentralized command-and-control and EtherHiding. This campaign has a global reach, with many victims in India, posing a significant risk to crypto users.
