Good idea to remember not to click zips or exes if you're expecting a torrent file.
Luckily this malware was relatively benign, changing bitcoin addresses to malicious ones in the clipboard, so if you don't use crypto then you're fine against this attack. No one's funds have made it into the attacker's wallet yet.
Stealing not-BTC-anymore just because the masses have been fooled doesn't mean that everything you do can't be tracked down unless you're ackt-choo-choo-ally an asset of what the AI "see's" backwards. Then they just won't bother to even notice that their own IP address wasn't blared over the TOR tracking log broadcast.
You'll get hung when you buy it off the bisq though so they can backwards slap the punishment of their own theivery when they steal what you paid for again.
