"Mysterious Mystic Stealer Spreads Like Wildfire in Mere Months"

Since its debut on underground marketplaces in April, a stealer that can grab credentials from web browsers and extensions, as well as cryptocurrency, has rapidly become a favorite among cybercriminals. The "Mystic Stealer" has established a strong foothold in the threat landscape in its first few months due to its advanced capabilities, pricing, and the crowdsourcing of suggestions that have led to ongoing updates and improvements, according to two reports released simultaneously, one by Cyfirma and the other by Inquest and Zscaler. The stealer, which typically costs $150 per month or $390 for a three-month subscription, has the same capability to steal data from a victim's computer as other forms of this type of malware, along with obfuscation techniques that make it capable of advanced evasion. According to Zscaler researchers, it is evident that the developer of Mystic Stealer is attempting to produce a stealer that is on par with current trends in the malware space while focusing on anti-analysis and defense evasion. This article continues to discuss findings and observations surrounding the Mystic Stealer.
