Cybersecurity experts have identified a new malware threat designed to steal Bitcoin, concealed within official printer driver packages. The malicious software was discovered embedded in drivers digitally signed and distributed as legitimate components for Windows printers, raising serious concerns about software supply chain vulnerabilities.

The malware, once installed on a target system, silently searches for cryptocurrency wallet information—particularly private keys and recovery phrases. According to the report, it can exfiltrate wallet data and clipboard content to attacker-controlled servers, enabling unauthorized access to victims' crypto funds. Security researchers noted that the malware operates stealthily and is designed to avoid detection by conventional antivirus tools.

What makes this attack particularly alarming is the source. The driver packages appeared to be signed by valid digital certificates, making them seem trustworthy. This allowed the malware to bypass several Windows security checks, increasing the likelihood of installation on unsuspecting users' systems.

So far, the primary focus has been on Bitcoin wallets, but experts warn that the malware could be updated to target a broader range of digital assets. Microsoft has since revoked the affected certificates and issued security advisories to minimize risk.

This incident highlights the growing sophistication of attacks targeting crypto users. It serves…
