Elite Stealer

Elite Stealer, or EliteStealer, is a piece of malware designed to collect sensitive data from compromised systems without raising too many red flags. The execution of this implant is meant to be as silent as possible so that the victim will not notice anything out of the ordinary. What is scary about the Elite Stealer project is that its creators are selling it on popular hacking forums for a fee of just 400 Rubles, or about $6/month. This makes the Elite Stealer a very accessible piece of malware, and any cybercriminal with a few dollars can start using it right away.

The good news is that since the Elite Stealer is so widely spread, modern anti-virus products easily identify its traits and terminate it before it gets a chance to cause any problems. Users who have taken the necessary measures to protect their systems against malware are 100% safe from Elite Stealer's attacks.

If the Elite Stealer manages to infiltrate a device successfully, it may begin to siphon out data from:

• Web browsers – cookies, autofill information, browsing history, payment info, and more.
• FTP client login credentials
• Email client login credentials
• Files and tokens used by popular software like Discord, Steam, and Telegram.

As mentioned above, protecting yourself from the Elite Stealer and similar threats is achievable with the use of an up-to-date anti-virus application. On top of this, it is also recommended to be careful when interacting with unknown sites or files – avoid downloading content from unknown sources.
