Beware of Malware in Pirated Windows 10 Downloads
Originally Published 2 years ago — by BleepingComputer
Hackers are distributing pirated Windows 10 ISOs that contain clipper malware hidden in the EFI partition, which can potentially bypass malware detections. The malware replaces cryptocurrency wallet addresses on-the-fly with addresses under the attacker's control, redirecting payments to their accounts and making them at least $19,000 worth of cryptocurrency. Users should avoid downloading pirated software as they can be dangerous and contain persistent malware.
