Infostealers are monitoring clipboard content to gather sensitive information, posing significant risks to users. This attack method can involve both the exfiltration of valuable data and on-the-fly modifications, such as crypto-wallet swaps. Users are often unaware that their clipboard could easily be accessed when clipboard sharing is enabled between virtual machines and hosts.
Malware operating in a sandbox environment can exploit this vulnerability and gain access to the host clipboard, compromising security. This highlights a critical area of concern in cybersecurity as the clipboard functions as a major risk factor if not adequately secured. Users should remain vigilant and consider disabling clipboard sharing to mitigate these threats, ensuring that their information remains protected from unauthorized access.
