Sality didn’t hack Bitcoin or Ethereum — it targeted the transaction before it reached the blockchain.


The malware monitored copied wallet addresses and replaced them with attacker-controlled addresses before users sent their crypto.
More than 15,000 infected machines were isolated, with losses linked to EggJagger estimated at at least $150K.
The lesson: blockchain security is only one layer. Your device and transaction process matter just as much.
Always verify the full wallet address before sending.
