Malware families that exfiltrate credentials, session tokens, crypto wallet data, cookies, clipboard contents and documents from compromised endpoints.
TrendAI has tied ASHVEIN, a previously undocumented .NET RAT, to UAC-0099 attacks on Ukrainian government personnel, citing five builds from October 2025. The group has fielded newer tools since, so detection that lasts has to target how it delivers and tasks its implants.

CERT-UA says attackers planted fake Cloudflare checks on more than 100 legitimate websites to get visitors to install Lunex Stealer themselves. Ontinue says its browser components can keep file access after the stealer is deleted, so cleanup has to reach the browsers.

Jamf Threat Labs says the Rust macOS stealer pastes itself in via Terminal, fakes an Installer password prompt, mutes the speakers, then hands the operator a headless clone of your logged-in profile.

Microsoft Defender Experts tied 30+ domains to a macOS stealer by matching execution, staging and upload behaviour. The count is incidental; the method is the part worth copying.

Jamf Threat Labs found a PamStealer build that completes a server key exchange before its macOS payload decrypts, so captured samples cannot be recovered offline. It also layers four persistence methods and a Swift stealer that harvests keychains and credentials from 13 browsers.

Blackpoint says a fake Spotify MSI, launched through msiexec.exe, ends with a Node.js agent that reads its live C2 address off a Polygon contract. The same implant has also shipped as Zoom and Teams.

Kaspersky says a new MacSync variant hides its payload commands in public iCloud calendar events and downloads the next stage from iCloud. Both the instructions and the download ride trusted Apple domains, past defenses that block known-bad hosts.

LastPass TIME and Delphos Labs analysed a malware-as-a-service kit that arrives as a padded ZIP from an SEO-boosted fake repository and ends with a signed driver terminating security processes from kernel mode.

LastPass and Delphos Labs traced SEO-tuned GitHub repositories impersonating at least 40 software brands to a new stealer called Rapuncel, shipped alongside a signed kernel driver that opens protected security processes as kernel code and terminates them.

Unit 42 followed the copy-paste instructions on Aug. 5, 2026, and watched one Zsh command install AMOS twice over and package a lab Mac's wallet folders and cloud credentials into a single zip.

Huntress tracked nine months of malware campaigns run through shipped AI sharing features. Public Claude Artifacts, claude.ai/share links and indexable ChatGPT and Grok conversations all put the lure on a domain the victim already trusts.

Huntress took apart an ISO sold as a leaked pre-release copy and found two RATs, a Discord-webhook infostealer and a Chaos build that overwrites anything above 200MB. All of it is old enough for Defender to catch.

ReversingLabs counted 397 ACRStealer samples against 26 for the freshly updated AuraStealer. In a rented-malware market, the newest family is not the busiest one.
