"Researchers Discover Numerous Samples of Information Stealer 'Stealc' in the Wild"

Stealc, a new information stealer being sold on the dark web, could emerge as a major competitor to similar malware. SEKOIA researchers stated that Stealc is presented as a fully functional and ready-to-use stealer. According to the researchers, its development relied on the Vidar, Raccoon, Mars, and RedLine stealers. The cybersecurity company detected over 40 Stealc samples in the wild and 35 active command-and-control (C2) servers, indicating that the malware is gaining momentum among criminal groups. Stealc, which was offered for the first time on January 9, 2023, by an actor named Plymouth on the XSS and BHF Russian-speaking underground forums, is written in C and has the capability to steal data from web browsers, cryptocurrency wallets, email clients, and messaging applications. The Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) also promises a "customizable" file grabber that enables customers to customize the module to extract specific files. It implements additional loader features for the deployment of additional payloads. This article continues to discuss the new Stealc information stealer.
