Infostealer malware silently harvests passwords, browser data, and sensitive information from infected devices — then sends it straight to cybercriminals.
Modern infostealers are sophisticated tools designed to extract maximum value from infected machines in seconds.
Extracts stored credentials from Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and other browsers — including passwords you thought were secure.
Steals session cookies to hijack active logins, bypassing MFA entirely. Attackers can access accounts without knowing the password.
Harvests addresses, phone numbers, and payment card details stored in browser autofill features.
Targets wallet files and browser extensions for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies.
Collects hardware IDs, installed software, and network details to profile victims and bypass security measures.
Extracts credentials from VPN clients, email applications, FTP software, and other business tools.
From infection to sale, stolen credentials move through a well-organised supply chain.
Victim downloads malicious software — often disguised as cracked software, game cheats, or legitimate-looking email attachments.
The malware executes silently, extracting saved passwords and browser data in seconds. Some variants include keyloggers that capture new passwords as they're typed — sending them to attackers within milliseconds.
Stolen data is encrypted and sent to attacker-controlled servers via Telegram, Discord, or private servers.
Data is compiled into structured 'logs' — organised folders containing all stolen information from each victim.
Logs are sold in bulk on dark web marketplaces, Telegram channels, and automated credential shops.
Stolen credentials create real costs — from lost revenue to expensive breach response.
When criminals use stolen credentials to access customer accounts, they make fraudulent purchases, drain loyalty points, or steal stored payment methods. You're left handling chargebacks, refunds, and angry customers.
Customers whose accounts are taken over often leave for good. The trust is broken. Meanwhile, fraudsters using stolen access aren't paying customers — they're extracting value you'll never recover.
Account takeovers flood your support team with password reset requests, fraud investigations, and compensation claims. Each incident costs time and money to resolve.
News of compromised accounts spreads quickly. Customers share bad experiences, and potential customers think twice. The brand damage from a credential-stuffing attack can far exceed the direct financial losses.
Early detection of compromised credentials is essential for preventing costly breaches.
When employee credentials appear in stealer logs, it's a clear indicator their device has been compromised. Early warning enables rapid response before attackers can use the stolen data.
Pre-emptive password resets and session invalidation stop attackers before they can leverage stolen credentials. Every hour of delay increases the risk of a successful breach.
The average cost of a data breach exceeds millions. Continuous credential monitoring costs a fraction of breach response, making it one of the highest-ROI security investments available.
DarkStrata monitors for your credentials in stealer logs and alerts you before attackers can strike.
