The report by Securelist delves into the ongoing threat posed by stealers in the malware landscape, highlighting the discovery of new stealers like Acrid, ScarletStealer, and Sys01. Acrid, a new stealer found in December, utilizes the 'Heaven's Gate' technique to access 64-bit space for data theft functions. On the other hand, ScarletStealer, discovered in January, displays a rather unusual behavior where its stealing functionality lies within other binaries and applications it downloads
Lastly, Sys01, an underdeveloped stealer, has a changing evolution from C# to PHP payload and mainly targets users through malicious ZIP archives disguised as adult videos shared via Facebook. The report emphasizes the significant financial losses and other consequences caused by these stealers, recommending basic cyber hygiene practices and using security solutions like SystemWatcher for protection. ```https://securelist.com/crimeware-report-stealers/112633/
