A new malware called Panda Stealer has been discovered and this time, it targets Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum via clickable links that act as Trojan horses and installs it in one s computer. These links are distributed via Discord chat rooms and e-mail, which resembles a phishing scam or a clickbait tactic by threat actors.
