The malware affects 20 different crypto wallet extensions, including Bitget Wallet, Trust Wallet, TronLink, MetaMask, TokenPocket, BNB Chain Wallet, OKX Wallet, Sui Wallet, Braavos – Starknet Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Leap Cosmos Wallet, Manta Wallet, Keplr, Phantom, Compass Wallet for Sei, Math Wallet, Fractal Wallet, Station Wallet, ConfluxPortal, and Plug. While the malware has not yet been widely distributed, it poses a serious threat due to its stealthy methods of operation. What Users Should Do If you use crypto wallet extensions on Google Chrome, it’s crucial to be cautious. Microsoft recommends checking your browser plugins, clearing your browser history, and running antivirus scans.

Microsoft has not yet identified the creators or origin of StilachiRAT, but has shared the findings as part of its ongoing efforts to monitor and address emerging cyber threats. Protection Measures Microsoft is providing mitigation guidance to help reduce the impact of StilachiRAT. The malware can be delivered through various vectors, so it is important to implement security measures to prevent compromise.
