Cryptohackers Breach StatCounter to Steal Bitcoins | Hackingsuperuser Nov. 8, 2018

Hackers planted malware on StatCounter to steal bitcoin revenue from Gate.io account holders, according to Eset researcher Matthieu Faou, who
discovered the breach.
The malicious code was added to StatCounter’s site-tracking script last weekend, he reported Tuesday.
"The malicious code hijacks any bitcoin transactions made through the Web interface of the Gate.io cryptocurrency exchange. It does not trigger unless the page link contains the “myaccount/withdraw/BTC” path.
The malicious code secretly can replace any bitcoin address that users enter on the page with one controlled by the attacker. Security experts view this breach as critical because so many websites load StatCounter’s tracking script.
“This security breach is really important considering that — according to StatCounter — more than 2 million websites are using their analytics platform,” Faou told TechNewsWorld. “By modifying the analytics script injected in all those 2 million websites, attackers were able to execute JavaScript code in the browser of all the visitors of these websites.”
