Vidar Stealer: Revealing A New Deception Strategy

Vidar Stealer, an infamous information-stealing malware, first appeared in 2018 and has since been used by cybercriminals to harvest sensitive data via browser cookies, stored credentials, financial information, and the like. Over time, its distribution methods have evolved (originating from the previous Arkei Trojan), adapting to different attack vectors such as malicious email attachments or malvertising campaigns. This information stealer functions as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) and can be directly purchased from the dark web.
