Our latest report talks about the XSSLite Stealer; an infostealer born from a malware development competition on a Russian hacking forum. This infostealer comes with anti-sandbox & anti-debugging capabilities, in addition to a web panel's source code to receive the stealer logs from compromised victims.
A hefty prize pool of tens of thousands of USD shows just how much these administrators earn by running the cybercriminal forum. Such competitions attract a larger audience, fostering increased participation and engagement from malware developers and black hats across the globe. This comradeship can lead to more sustained and meaningful interactions, contributing to the overall health of the forum. With another month to go, we expect the number of malwares seen in the competition to experience a steep rise, likely resulting in increased campaigns by threat actors using those respective tools.
