'Silent Swap' clipper hides in a fake Google Notes browser extension to swap wallet addresses
McAfee researchers found unsigned .NET and Go installers, linked to the CountLoader malware loader, that force-install a fake 'Google Notes' extension into Chromium browsers. The extension reads the clipboard and replaces copied Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, XRP, Dash and Solana addresses with attacker addresses; it finds its control server through a smart contract. Anyone who finds an unknown 'Google Notes' extension should remove it and treat anything copied while it was installed as exposed. No loss total was published.
