Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has issued a global alert about a malware called "Clipper" that is targeting cryptocurrency users. The malware alters wallet addresses during transactions, causing users to unknowingly send funds to hackers instead of their intended recipients. This issue has spiked in recent weeks, especially among Android users who download unofficial apps and plugins. Binance's security team has implemented measures to counteract the threat, such as blacklisting suspicious addresses and informing affected users. Users are advised to triple-check withdrawal addresses and ensure that no malware is interfering with their transactions. Binance recommends verifying the authenticity of apps and plugins, double-checking withdrawal addresses, and installing reliable security software to stay safe.
