According to Decrypt, ReversingLabs security researchers have detected malicious software targeting the popular Python Bitcoin wallet library bitcoinlib using machine learning technology. The malware packages, named 'bitcoinlibdbfix' and 'bitcoinlib - dev,' disguised themselves as solutions to error messages during Bitcoin transactions, aiming to cover legitimate commands to steal sensitive database files.
