In this new episode of the mnemonic security podcast, Robby Peralta is joined by Leonid Rozenberg, a cybersecurity expert and dark web researcher at Hudson Rock, to discuss infostealers. Rozenberg provides a brief history of infostealers, which began with Zeus in 2007, a malware initially designed to steal only banking information. Today, infostealers have evolved to capture all types of personal and sensitive data, including passwords, cookies, and cryptocurrency information. Infostealer malware can be bought on the dark web as a turnkey solution, or "mass malware as a service," for as little as $99 per month.
Rozenberg emphasises the importance of cybersecurity education and debunks common misconceptions about antivirus protection, complex passwords, and multi-factor authentication. He also highlights the ongoing threat of infostealers and their adaptability in bypassing security measures.
