Info Stealers, often referred to as “stealers,” are a type of engineered malware designed to covertly extract sensitive data from compromised systems. These malicious programs primarily target browser data, including usernames, passwords, financial details, system configurations, and cryptocurrency wallets.
Once an Info Stealer infiltrates a computer—typically through phishing emails or malicious downloads—it can exfiltrate valuable information that cybercriminals can exploit for fraudulent activities. Some Info Stealers can even take screenshots from infected devices to gather additional intelligence.
According to Check Point’s State of Cybersecurity Report 2024, Info Stealers continue to pose a significant threat to organizations worldwide. The market for these malware types is highly competitive and sophisticated, with services such as RedLine Stealer available for around $150 per month, StealC priced at approximately $200, and Lumma Threat at $250. Cybercriminals operating under the Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) model purchase licenses and resell stolen data, known as “logs,” on underground marketplaces or platforms like Telegram.
These logs, often containing sensitive corporate credentials, are sold for as little as $10 each, fueling financial fraud and cyberattacks across various industries.
With the growing adoption of remote work and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies, the corporate attack surface has expanded significantly. Cybercriminals leverage stolen session cookies to bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and gain unauthorized access to corporate environments.
As a result, businesses must take proactive measures to combat evolving Info Stealer threats by implementing robust cybersecurity strategies.
