Microsoft Finds New Malware That Steals Crypto via USB and Hides on Tor
Ars Technica·Saturday, 20 June 2026
Microsoft has discovered a new lightweight backdoor called Crypto Clipper that spreads through USB drives and communicates over the Tor network to steal cryptocurrency. The malware is self-propagating, meaning it can spread from device to device on its own.
Why It Matters
India has a fast-growing crypto user base, and USB drives are still widely shared in offices, colleges, and homes — making this threat very real for everyday users.
