As cryptocurrency values climbed (Bitcoin > $100,000 in Dec 2024), cybercriminal activity targeting digital assets surged: the report notes a 56% increase in cryptostealer detections across Windows, Android, and macOS and highlights threats such as macOS PSW, Android banking trojans with cryptostealer functionality, malware-as-a-service families (AMOS, Lumma), and specific campaigns (Vidar via ads/Telegram, GoldPickaxe in SE Asia). Attack techniques include phishing, malicious ads, romance/investment “pig butchering,” and server wallet compromises; recommended mitigations include diversifying wallets, using cold storage, enabling 2FA, applying patches, using reputable VPNs, and vigilant monitoring.
