Malicious Tor Browser Fleeces Darknet Users of Bitcoins

A newly uncovered criminal scheme is using a trojanized version of the Tor browser to fleece darknet users of their bitcoins. The gang advertised the webpages of this malicious Tor browser using spam messages on various Russian-language forums. Over several months, these webpages received about 500,000 page views, with the gang able to collect about $40,000 in stolen bitcoins through the scheme, the ESET researchers say. The malicious browser is based on Tor Browser 7.5 – a version released in January 2018.”]
