Info Stealer Supply Chain Exposed

The Australian Signals Directorate has demonstrated how Information Stealer malware is simplifying data theft for even “entry level” cybercriminals. 

This malicious software is designed to infect a device, collect as much valuable data as possible, and deliver it directly to cybercriminals. It’s commonly distributed through SMS or email phishing, online advertisements containing malicious links and downloads containing hidden malicious code.  

The malware extracts data such as usernames and passwords, credit card details, cryptocurrency wallets, local files and browser data including cookies, user history and autofill details. Malware-as-a-Service providers offer info stealers to entry-level cybercriminals, enabling them to easily collect stolen data which can be used down the cybercrime supply chain to extort organisations and individuals.
