Bitcoin stealer malware found in official printer drivers
Procolored, a Chinese printer manufacturer, has been distributing Bitcoin-stealing malware with its official drivers. The malware, which operates by hijacking wallet addresses in users' clipboards, has reportedly stolen 9.3 BTC valued at over $953,000. The malware was spread through compromised USB drivers and uploaded to cloud storage for global access. Users are advised to perform full system scans or reinstall their operating systems if they downloaded Procolored drivers in the past six months. The issue was first highlighted by YouTuber Cameron Coward, whose antivirus flagged the drivers as containing malware. Cybersecurity firm G-Data confirmed the presence of two types of malware in the drivers. Procolored denied the allegations, attributing the issue to a supply chain compromise and claiming to have removed the infected files from its storage.
