There is a new malware that is present in apps that when you download it can steal the contents of your digital wallet. It is present in fake apps though. The description of the malware is like a trojan horse that stays in your system for a time before attacking to steal. The discoverer named it ElectroRat to mean it is a pest.
The style of the malware is to collect the digital wallet keys. The estimated number of systems that are infected by the malware is more than 6,000 according to Intezer Labs. This is a warning for crypto users to be discerning when downloading apps for their convenience with the crypto wallet. Although the infection comes from a fake app but users sometimes can be confused and fooled. With the emergence of this first hacking app expect some more of its kind to be born within this year.
