Topic: [Warning]: New Mystic Stealer targets 40 web browsers and crypto wallets - page 2. (Read 267 times)

This update is worth it mate and thanks for sharing.
I have been wondering all these while when will all  these nefarious act by hackers be stalled.
The rate at which they invent  malware's just to get their ways into people's privacy is something else. On several occasions I have received mails with clickbait links which are very much suspicious to be scammers and their malware's. It takes a sensitive and smart individual to see such and know what they are up to and possibly do the needful in time to save their details.

I basically do download apps from google store but these days, no one can tell the original from the fake anymore as the duplicates are almost similar with no difference. Downloading apps and browser extension these days are not safe anymore if not from a recommended source.

One need be careful as to what they download on their gadgets and look link they click these days in other to protect their privacy and other stuffs online or attached to them.

Thanks for the warning.
Scammers are just trying harder every single day. The more one tries to upgrade security, the more they are also trying their best to bypass it and introduce more tricky ways of hijacking victims funds and information.

So far, so good. I have learned to always avoid some kind of unwanted application on my gadgets, especially those that I don't need. These days, even apps from trusted sites are, to some point, also clones of the original app.
We should all just be careful out there, not just for crypto theft's malware but for both our personal data and other financial-related information that could be stolen with the help of those apps.

How else can it get, by letting hackers get into your system, anti-virus and malware are ineffective some can still manage to get it, awareness is the first prevention you should always be aware of what you're opening and what you're downloading even on sites that you think are safe

Just reading the article makes us scared of what this virus can do to our system


So double your effort, awareness, and education everything you've had are stake here, and make security your number one concern especially if you are involved in Cryptocurrency.

I am not a technical person even though i am a student of computer sciences, but still the terms and terminologies used in the sourced article are going above my head, i have to understand each term individually like how he is doing that, but all we care about is how can we save ourselves from it, as you mentioned he is using the same old techniques used by many other hackers AFAIK, our cookies that we allow, basically a big loophole in the website which leads hacker directly to your personal data, and i wonder how can web extension wallets can be compromised by it, because they do not have any auto fill option unless you use any third party software which in itself is harmful. Then how the hacker could extract our passwords, well after reading article i think he used our keystroke, processing power, etc information to conclude results.

We have been taught by our teacher in Data security that, hackers are so smart now they can understand and easily identify the keystrokes of your keyboard and they can extract the useful data just by the information of your processor's, ram's and network's information. This is really awesome. He seems to be a legend hacker plus he is using his own encryption method to send and receive data under the nose of all firewalls and to decrypt his protocol definitely decrypter might be working and this case really excites me now.

There is a new nformation-stealing malware called Mystic Stealer, which targets a lot of browsers and and web browsers extension that includes, our cryptocurrencies.
So this malware extracts data from the host computer, and then it can also extracts cryptocurrency wallets, and then collects auto-fill data, browsing history, cookies and others.
