The malware is distributed through GitHub apps:

Quote
The initial infection is primarily delivered through two vectors: a ClickFix attack, and malware distributed through GitHub that masquerades as legitimate software.

What I know about the malware is that it knows what you are typing and also know you video streaming. It can compromise you bitcoin wallets, know information on your password managers. Just know that what you are doing on your device are not safe if your device is affected with the malware.

Bitcoin users need to always avoid malware. Make use of cold storage for high amount of coins.

Devices of people from over 25 countries are affected.

If you want to know more about the malware, the countries affected that have been noticed and their percentage, you can read about the malware.

I have heard something like this, but I am safe. Usually I don't install anything on my device, either mobile or computer, that I am not familiar with or don't know. Because I know it's quite dangerous to install on the device, I don't know about that app. However, thanks for raising the concern on the forum; hope other users will be careful now.

On the other hand, our crypto should be safe even if our device gets affected. Since we are using the internet and visiting various sites, we should be careful about our wallets. I have been using a hardware wallet for transactions and storing my holdings. Only a small amount is kept for trading on the exchange. But most of the time I moved funds into a hardware wallet.
