Overview

Info-stealer malware has become one of the most dangerous and stealthy threats in cybersecurity. Unlike traditional attacks that can be detected, info-stealers quietly infiltrate systems through various delivery methods, stealing credentials, financial details, and personal information. The theft of just one set of credentials can unlock an entire network.

Once inside, these threats silently collect data, enabling attackers to escalate their attacks, impersonate victims, or demand ransom. The real danger is that these attacks often go unnoticed until it’s too late.

This report outlines how info-stealers operate in four stages: Delivery, Data Collection, Data Exfiltration, and Data Distribution, emphasizing the potential impact on both individuals and organizations. It also provides security measures for both individual users and businesses to strengthen their defenses. Remember, humans should not be viewed as the weakest link, but as the first line of defense.

Ultimately, your security is shaped by the actions you take today. The steps you take now will help protect you tomorrow.
