Alfonso Stealer

Online hacking forums are often the preferred place of novice cybercriminals who are looking for cheap malware that they can buy. One of the latest advertisements on such forums references the Alfonso Stealer, also known as Al'Fon$ Stealer or Al'Fon$o Stealer. This threat is designed to collect data from a compromised system, and it claims to have the ability to gain silent persistence, which enables the implant to extract more data over longer periods. The authors of the Alfonso Stealer state that their product is able to avoid anti-virus software. Last but not least, the advertisements of Alfonso Stealer appear to be centered on Russian forums, so this is likely to be the nationality of the original malware developer and their potential customers.

The Alfonso Stealer is able to collect information from popular Web browsers, cryptocurrency wallets, messaging applications, and a wide range of email clients and cryptocurrency wallets. The criminals ask to be contacted via Telegram about pricing details, and they also promise to provide their clients with full-time support.

The good news is that Alfonso Stealer's ability to evade anti-virus software is non-existent. You can rest assured that you are safe from its attacks if your computer is protected by a regularly updated anti-malware application. Since malware of this sort is made to work in the background silently, it may be very difficult to identify and remove it manually. To make sure that your credentials and other data are safe from cybercriminals, you should always keep your system protected by an up-to-date anti-virus tool.
