For a cyber criminal looking to steal cryptocurrency, it&#8217;s sadly highly likely they&#8217;ll make back the money paid for the malware within a handful of attacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The illicit service also provides users with a tool which allows attackers to encrypt the malware so it&#8217;s more difficult for anti-virus software to detect, increasingly the likelihood of attacks successfully stealing cryptocurrency from compromised victims.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The proliferation of cheap access to malware families like Redline means that even relatively low-skilled cybercriminals can use them to steal cryptocurrency,&#8221; warns the report.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top placeholder\"> <\/section>\n<p>Overall, the malware families in the report have received 5,974 transfers from victims in 2021, up from 5,449 in 2020 &#8211; although that&#8217;s down significantly on 2019 which saw more that 7,000 transfers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE:&nbsp;<\/strong><a

winning strategy for cybersecurity<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;(ZDNet special report)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But Redline is just one example of malware being designed to steal cryptocurrency and there&#8217;s a growing market in this space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of the incidents tracked, Crypobot, an infostealer was the most prolific theft of cryptocurrency wallets and account credentials, stealing almost half a million dollars in cryptocurrency in 2021. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, success in stealing cryptocurrency from users could easily push more ambitious cyber criminals to target organisations and even cryptocurrency exchanges, meaning that the threat of cyber criminals targeting crypto wallets and credentials is something organisations need to consider.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The cybersecurity industry has been dealing with malware for years, but the usage of these malicious programs to steal cryptocurrency means cybersecurity teams need new tools in their toolbox,&#8221; says the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.chainalysis.com\/reports\/2022-crypto-crime-report-preview-malware\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"
