Cybersecurity researchers have discovered LeakyInjector and LeakyStealer, a dangerous malware pair that specifically targets cryptocurrency wallets and browser information on Windows computers. The attack starts with LeakyInjector quietly installing LeakyStealer into the explorer.exe process using advanced injection techniques that bypass security software. LeakyStealer then hunts for popular crypto wallets including Electrum, Exodus, MetaMask, and Coinbase Wallet, while also stealing browser history from Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi. Both malware components use valid digital certificates to appear legitimate and employ a "polymorphic engine" that modifies memory to evade detection. The malware establishes persistence by disguising itself as "MicrosoftEdgeUpdateCore.exe" and survives system restarts. Users should update security software, avoid untrusted downloads, and consider hardware wallets for crypto storage. **Source:** [Cybersecurity News](https://cybersecuritynews.com/leakyinjector-and-leakystealer-malwares-attacks/)
