SlowMist Flags 'Cracked TradingView Premium' as Wallet-Data Malware

Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

SlowMist warned that the widely used "cracked TradingView Premium" Windows app is malware that exfiltrates wallet data, using Telegram and Steam as rotating command-and-control channels to evade detection. The security firm did not confirm any thefts or specify how many victims are affected, leaving the actual damage unquantified. The alert matters because the pirated desktop client is popular among retail traders who store keys and seed phrases near their trading setups. Traders should watch for follow-up forensics from SlowMist or TradingView, and anyone running the cracked build should verify wallet activity and consider switching to the official client.
