Computer analysts at cybersecurity firm Zscaler ThreatLabZ have discovered a new type of trojan that targets cryptocurrency users. The trojan is able to capture control of targeted computers, retrieve browser history and look for activities involving crypto and credit cards.

A report by crypto intelligence firm Ciphertrace published in April estimated losses of $356 million due to scams just in Q1.

Grateful we have researches who can locate these trojans but it's disappointing to always have this double edged sword.
