I know that despite the advances obtained hackers take a step forward, now have a new virus that is Trojan type called Evrial has the ability to modify the clipboard of Windows at your convenience, managing to replace a Bitcoin address Copied by another property of the hacker. It works as follows, if a user copies an address to which he wants to send Bitcoins, the virus replaces it and the user will end up sending the Cryptocoins to the address provided by the hacker. Evrial, discovered by researchers of the MalwareHunterTeam and the group Guido Not CISSP, also has the ability to steal cookies and credentials of internet browsers.

Generally, when a user copies a place a Bitcoin portfolio address is to paste it into another application because of the complexity and tediousness of performing it manually. This bridge manages to be successfully crossed by Evrial, allowing that, if a Bitcoin address is copied from a courier service, for example, it is identically affixed to the box of an online Exchange house or a desktop portfolio. The virus can detect the addresses of Bitcoin, Litecoin, Nero, and the services Qiwi and Steam and replace them with another provided from a remote site to which it connects via the Internet.
Evrial is so dangerous that it can steal credentials and passwords, saving the potential of stealing Cryptocoins portfolios and user documents, as well as making and sending screenshots to attackers. Internet browsers that Evrial tries to attack are Chrome, Yandex, Orbitum, Opera, Amigo, Torch and Comodo.

The most incredible thing is that the virus is on sale in clandestine internet forums and have a cost of 1500 Russian rubles, equivalent to $27 Americans. With the purchase you ensure that the product allows an attacker to access a web panel to construct an executable file in which the information contained in the Windows Clipboard can be traced and modified.

Security experts assure BleepingComputer that Evrial has the ability to identify when and how to replace certain information with another, without running the change whenever the user makes a copy of the information.
