“Hidden within the open-source OS X bitcoin wallet app StealthBit, CoinThief.A monitors users’ web traffic to steal login credentials for software wallets and popular bitcoin sites, including BTC-e, Mt. Gox, and Blockchain.info. The StealthBit app had been available on GitHub both as source code and a precompiled download, but the page has now been removed. Suspicion arose when investigators discovered the precompiled version did not match the source (which more knowledgeable users could examine for themselves and needed to compile before using). The precompiled version contained the malware, whereas the open-source code did not.”
