Stealth Threat: ’ModStealer’ Malware Targets Browser Crypto Wallets—Here’s How to Protect Your Digital Assets

Security researchers uncover sophisticated malware specifically designed to drain browser-based cryptocurrency wallets—and it's already active in the wild.

The invisible threat operates by injecting malicious code into browser extensions, bypassing traditional security measures while remaining completely undetectable to most users.

ModStealer doesn't just target one wallet—it's programmed to hit multiple popular platforms simultaneously, making it one of the most versatile crypto theft tools ever discovered.

Security experts warn that conventional antivirus software struggles to detect this new strain, as it mimics legitimate browser behavior and operates entirely in memory.

Protection requires proactive measures: hardware wallet integration, regular extension audits, and disabling unnecessary browser permissions—because apparently in crypto, even your browser wants a piece of the action.
