How to lose crypto on Youtube? Very easy

The malware spreads on Youtube under different pretexts, free subscriptions to Netflix, Spotify and other services, and free mining software; then in the tutorial, it asks to disable antivirus (standard procedure for pirates). At this step, it is better to say goodbye to your assets.

The program targets more than 30 wallets and browser extensions, including Ethereum, Zcash, Electrum, Atomic Wallet, Coinomi. Cyble, a cyberintelligence company, said that the name of the virus most likely comes from a Stephen King novel (it's essential).

What makes it a bit different from other viruses, PennyWise can also "work" with cold wallets like Jaxxx, Bytecoin, Exodus, Electrum, Armory etc. Other wallets that support Zcash and Ether are also susceptible to hacking.

As noted by cyber analysts, they make the program itself to be downloaded from the link in the video's description on Youtube. As a rule, these video tutorials are like a selection of the lamers, not literate in the computer matters. Then, as already mentioned, they ask to disable antivirus.

Now the channel where the videos were posted is removed, it's about 80 clips, but on the other hand we'll learn about new ones created only when someone gets caught on them.

At the moment, the funniest feature of the program is that it stops itself when it sees the computer in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus or Kazakhstan :D. Also, the program sends reports on the work done in hosting, converting the time in Moscow. Oh, these Russian Hackers.

So from our team we can only wish you to be careful and not to disable antivirus, no matter what the man in the video says.
