What is 1xExujJunyRVG8MWnEgxdHkVwW7xSzntZ?
1xExujJunyRVG8MWnEgxdHkVwW7xSzntZ is the name of a clipper-type malware. Malicious programs of this kind are also known as "clipboard hijackers"; they operate by changing clipboard data. Typically, clippers are used to redirect outgoing cryptocurrency transactions by replacing the intended wallet's address with one owned by the cyber criminals.
1xExujJunyRVG8MWnEgxdHkVwW7xSzntZ malware overview
After analyzing this clipper, we determined that it detects when the user copies a cryptocurrency wallet address into the clipboard (i.e., copy-paste buffer) and pastes the address of a cryptowallet belonging to the attackers instead.
When the victim copies a Bitcoin (BTC) wallet address, this malicious program pastes "1xExujJunyRVG8MWnEgxdHkVwW7xSzntZ", and when they copy an Ethereum (ETH) address - the clipper changes it to "0xd00634B22adAA771Be515527C33049dcfE6D0E3C". In some cases, the Bitcoin wallet address was replaced to 31quHvzJhA4kVJJNn7a5EPXsL6q9sXPsqm.
Therefore, victims - whose devices are infected with this malware - can experience significant financial losses.
Our researchers discovered this malicious program while inspecting "cracked" software download sites. The installation setup of this clipper was bundled with other unwanted/harmful software (e.g., fake Google Translate, etc.).
If "1xExujJunyRVG8MWnEgxdHkVwW7xSzntZ" is pasted by your device's clipboard, it is possible that other threats have infiltrated the system as well. The device might also be infected with adware, browser hijackers, or other PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These infections may display dubious/malicious advertisements, modify browser settings, cause redirects, collect private data, or perform other potentially harmful actions.
To summarize, the presence of such software on devices can lead to multiple system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.
If you suspect that your system is already infected by 1xExujJunyRVG8MWnEgxdHkVwW7xSzntZ, we strongly advise using an anti-virus to perform a complete system scan and remove all detected threats.

Clipper malware examples
We have analyzed dozens of clippers; 89N3PDyZzakoH7W6n8ZrjGDDktjh8iWFG6eKRvi3kvpQ, Allcome Clipper, and BitCoin Clipper, are just a few examples. Furthermore, replacing clipboard data is a common feature in multifunctional malicious programs like Jester Stealer, PENTAGON RAT, S-400 RAT, and many others.
However, regardless of how malware operates, its presence on a system endangers device integrity and user safety. Therefore, we highly recommend eliminating threats/issues immediately upon detection.
How did 1xExujJunyRVG8MWnEgxdHkVwW7xSzntZ install on my computer?
As previously mentioned, we downloaded this clipper from a website offering "cracked" software. However, malware is proliferated using various methods.
The most common distribution techniques include: drive-by (stealthy and deceptive) downloads, illegal program activation tools ("cracks") and their download sites, malicious attachments/links in spam emails and messages, untrustworthy download sources (e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, etc.), online scams, and fake updates.
Malicious programs are commonly disguised as or bundled with ordinary software/media. Virulent files can be in various formats, e.g., executables, archives, PDF and Microsoft Office documents, JavaScript, etc. When such a file is opened - the infection process is triggered.
How to avoid installation of malware?
Caution and vigilance are essential to computer safety. We strongly recommend downloading only from official and verified channels. Furthermore, programs must be activated and updated with tools provided by legitimate developers, as those obtained from third-parties may cause system infections.
We advise against opening/clicking the attachments and links found in dubious emails and messages, as they can contain malware.
It is paramount to have a reputable anti-virus installed and kept up-to-date. Security software has to be used to run regular system scans and to remove threats and issues. If your computer is already infected with 1xExujJunyRVG8MWnEgxdHkVwW7xSzntZ, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this malware.
