Here are two vcritical paragraphs out of this particular article that Diva on Breaches posted to Mastodon.
The first says:
Information stealers are malware that steals data stored in applications such as web browsers, email clients, instant messengers, cryptocurrency wallets, FTP clients, and gaming services. The stolen information is packaged into archives called ‘logs,’ which are then uploaded back to the threat actor for use in attacks or sold on cybercrime marketplaces.
The second paragraph is probably the most important. It says:
The most prominent information-stealing families are Redline, Raccoon, Titan, Aurora, and Vidar, offered to cyber criminals on a subscription-based model, allowing them to conduct malware campaigns that steal data from infected devices.
Here is the blog post when we covered Red Line Staler.
If this is any indication, stalers like Red Line are not going anywhere. And, the fact that there are others out there make this type of thing a bigger problem than first talked about.
This article is titled Over 400,000 corporate credentials stolen by info-stealing malware and I urge this community to check it out. Don’t get targeted with this one.
