New password-stealing malware known as BlackGuard is now being sold on Russian hacker forums.

According to a news piece by TechTimes, the new malware claims to stealing user data from a variety of platforms, including Google Chrome, Binance, Microsoft's Outlook, Telegram, and many others. 

BlackGuard also attacks wallet browser extensions such as Metamask, Ronin wallet, and Binance, to name a few. 

Avoid visiting shady websites and downloading files from untrustworthy or dubious sources to protect yourself from all of the circulating information-stealing malware.

Finally, use two-factor authentication, keep your operating system and applications up to date, and create strong, unique passwords for all of your online accounts.
