Fake Cryptopia Trading Bot Will Infect Computers With Multiple Trojan Horses

Fake Cryptopia Trading Bot Will Infect Computers With Multiple Trojan Horses

Never Trust Free Trading Bots on YouTube

As the bearish cryptocurrency market seemingly comes to an end right now, it would appear the overall interest in trading assets is rising again. A lot of users would prefer to do so in an automated manner. When prices of cryptocurrencies, tokens, and assets rise, it would appear there is also an increase in trading bot popularity. This has become a new industry for criminals to target by the look of things as of late.

More specifically, a new GitHub repository has been discovered, seemingly offering access to a free trading bot. Although there are a fair few bots out there that do not require a monthly subscription fee or something along those lines, this one appears to be designed to cause harm first and foremost. The accompanying YouTube video claims it supports Finance, Cryptopia, and Bittrex at this time. That in itself is a very remarkable development, considering how Cryptopia is shut down indefinitely. Additionally, it seems there are plenty of other options to automate trading on Finance or Bittrex these days. That in itself shows the person responsible for this video hasn’t necessarily put too much effort into doing some research.

Even so, it is very likely this project would have gotten a lot of attention from novice cryptocurrency users. A lot of people want to make money with as little effort as possible. One user noted this GitHub repository isn’t home to just a trading bot but rather an application designed to spread Trojan Horses to unsuspecting devices. The full impact of these Trojans remains a bit unclear at this time, yet it would appear best to ignore this particular repository and seek trading bots elsewhere effectively.

Computers

As has been the case in years prior, efforts like these usually serve one of two specific purposes. Either they try to obtain wallet.dat files installed on the infected device and try to steal Bitcoin or altcoins in the process. The second option is to hijack login credentials from a browser session and empty users’ exchange accounts. Which method was designed to be used here remains unclear. It is known the repository will log user IPs, but the exact purpose of this information remains to be determined.

For the time being, it does not appear as if anyone has effectively downloaded and installed this fake-free trading bot. That in itself is positive news, although it remains to be seen what the future will hold in this regard. It is unlikely this will be the last attempt to defraud cryptocurrency users with a “free bot,” as the search for such tools is still intensifying. Rest assured, criminals will continue to look for ways to make money off of unsuspecting cryptocurrency users by any means necessary.
