It is reported that the 360 ​​Security Center had previously monitored a Trojan horse named "Clipboard Ghost". The "clipboard ghost" Trojan horse spreads through infectious viruses, Trojan horse downloaders, spam, etc., and a large number of currency holders in China have been affected.

The Trojan can detect the contents of the user's clipboard to determine whether it is an address of cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. If the copied content is the address of a certain currency, it will be replaced by the attacker's own address by the Trojan horse. In this way, the money transferred by the user to himself will directly fall into the attacker's pocket.

360 Security Guard said on Weibo that in the past month, 360 Security Guard has intercepted more than 50,000 such Trojan horse attacks. If estimated based on the average income of Trojan horses, it has helped users recover more than 40 million losses.

Digital currency trading platforms have been attacked and data stolen and other incidents have occurred frequently: In January this year, Coincheck, a digital currency exchange in Tokyo, Japan, encountered the largest virtual currency theft in the history of the digital currency field. Loss of about 530 million US dollars; In June, the South Korean digital currency exchange Bithumb was hacked and lost 35 billion won worth of digital currency.

As an emerging hot technology, blockchain has not been perfected in terms of security, which may directly lead to personal information leakage and property loss. Therefore, improving digital security has become an urgent problem to be solved, which is why 360 Security Center launched the blockchain firewall technology.
