"New Windows Trojan Steals Browser Credentials, Outlook Files"

Researchers with Palo Alto's Unit 42 research team have discovered a new information-stealing trojan, which targets Microsoft Windows systems with an onslaught of data-exfiltration capabilities. The trojan is called PyMicropsia (due to it being built with Python) and was developed by the threat group AridViper.  The trojan's information-stealing capabilities include file uploading, payload downloading/execution, browser-credential stealing, the ability to clear browsing history and profiles, taking screenshots, and keylogging. Also, PyMicropsia can collected information from USB drives, record audio,  harvest Outlook .OST files, and kill/ disable Outlook processes.
