A coordinated trust laundering campaign is manufacturing false software legitimacy on GitHub, YouTube, and VirusTotal before distributing a cross-platform clipboard hijacker that silently replaces cryptocurrency wallet addresses during transactions. The attack exploits platform-reputation heuristics used as triage shortcuts by security teams, meaning malware pre-submitted to VirusTotal for clean scans may pass initial security review and reach endpoints. No patch applies; this is a social engineering and defense-evasion campaign requiring behavioral detection and process controls.
