EggJagger is a cryptocurrency clipboard-hijacking malware, also known as a clipper or clipjacking tool. It continuously monitors an infected system’s clipboard for cryptocurrency wallet addresses and silently substitutes a threat actor-controlled address. This redirects cryptocurrency payments, including Bitcoin and Ethereum transfers, to wallets controlled by the operator. EggJagger was the principal payload distributed by the Sality peer-to-peer botnet for approximately eight years. CrowdStrike attributes Sality activity to the financially motivated SALTY SPIDER threat actor and estimated that EggJagger-related address substitution generated at least $150,000 in cryptocurrency theft. EggJagger was delivered to systems compromised by Sality, which infects Windows executable files and propagates through mechanisms including removable media, network shares, file-sharing networks, compromised websites, and email attachments.
