Chinese printer manufacturer Procolored has allegedly distributed Bitcoin-stealing malware through its official drivers in a supply chain attack, resulting in over $950,000 in stolen funds. According to local media reports, the firm used USB drivers to spread malware-ridden drivers that were uploaded to cloud storage for global access. Approximately 9.3 BTC, worth around $953,000, have been stolen. The malware works by hijacking the wallet address in the clipboard and replacing it with the attacker's address. Users who downloaded Procolored drivers in the past six months are advised to perform a full system scan with antivirus software, although a complete system reset is recommended for better security. The issue was first brought to light by a YouTuber who detected the malware during testing. While Procolored denied the allegations, a cybersecurity analysis confirmed the presence of two distinct malware strains in their drivers. Procolored cited a supply chain compromise as the source of the malware.
