The fact of the availability of viruses was confirmed by the security experts of G DATA. Malicious software was discovered by accident, in preparing a review of the latest Procolored UV printer on the Serial Hobbyism YouTube Canal. Antivirus software warned about the virus spreading through the USB, as well as the infection of the FLOXIF virus attached to the executable Portable Executable files. The FLOXIF action can apply to network folders, removable discs or reserve data storage systems. Further anti-virus scanning revealed the coincidences of the signatures of the viruses Win32.Backdoor.xredrat.a and msil.trojan-stealer.coinstealer.h.
Msil.trojan-stealer.coinstealer.h is used to steal data on the .NET database, which either steals cryptocurrency wallets or replaces the addresses of cryptotrazazations. The virus scans the clipboard, looking for content similar to the address of transactions with bitcoins, and replaces it with the address of the attacker, so that all cryptocurrency transactions should imperceptibly redirect to the address controlled by the attacker.
Initially, ProColored rejected the accusations, calling the warning of the antivirus false operation. However, subsequently, ProColoreded said that malicious software could get into uploaded service files due to compromising supplies, when malicious files were entered into the system through infected USB devices before loading to the server.
G DATA experts recommended users who have loaded Procolored Drivers in the last six months, launch a complete check of the system or carry out its full reset, which is the safest option for the prevention of infection.
Earlier, CHECK POINT Research computer security specialists reported the Styx Stealer virus, which steals a large amount of user data, including addresses and passwords from cryptocurrency wallets.
