Anubis Stealer

The Anubis Stealer is a new malware-as-a-service project that is being advertised on online hacking forums. The author of the threat claims that it is able to evade anti-virus software with a high success rate and that customers should expect to receive free access to future updates of the project. They have set the Anubis Stealer price at $100, but they do offer additional perks such as an online administrator area hosted on one of their servers – these perks cost extra.

A one-time payment of $100 is not a lot of money when it comes to commodity malware, so it is safe to assume that dozens of cybercriminals may opt to purchase and incorporate this information collector in their future campaigns. However, the good news is that the Anubis Stealer is by no means an advanced project – the claims that it is 'undetectable' are false, and you can be sure that any trustable up-to-date anti-malware application will catch it and exterminate it.

According to the advertisement, the Anubis Stealer focuses on obtaining cookies, autofill data, and payment details from the most popular Web browsers. Just like many other modern infostealers, it also looks for 'wallet.dat' files and other cryptocurrency-related files that may allow a hacker to gain illegal access to the victim's cryptocurrency wallet.

The online panel of the Anubis Stealer seems very poorly made, but it may help attract more customers since the crooks would not need to worry about exfiltrating the data or setting up a control server. It is recommended to keep your system and data safe from new threats like this one by installing a reputable anti-malware service that receives regular updates.
