Attacks and malware
What is Infostealer?
Malware built to grab saved passwords, browser cookies, crypto wallets and system details from a computer and send them to the attacker.
An infostealer is malware that collects stored secrets from an infected computer and sends them to its operator: browser passwords, session cookies, autofill data, crypto wallet files, VPN and FTP credentials, and system information.
Stealers are usually sold as a service and spread through cracked software, fake downloads, malicious ads and phishing. Their output, stealer logs, feeds a large market where access brokers and ransomware affiliates buy their way into companies.
