Zeromax Stealer

The Zeromax Stealer is a new threat that is being sold on hacking forums by the program's original creators. Like many other malware developers, they have opted to sell their products instead of using them in their campaigns – this is a money-making trick that many malware authors use. Unfortunately, this makes high-quality hacking tools available to anyone who is willing to pay the price.

According to Zeromax Stealer's author, the stealer is focused on harvesting data from online services that are related to frequent payments – PayPal, Amazon, eBay, Expedia, Booking, AirBNB, various financial institutions and cryptocurrency wallets. Surprisingly, the Zeromax Stealer offers customers the opportunity to sell the data they have collected via a custom-built marketplace that can be accessed by all Zeromax Stealer clients. This may attract even more cybercriminals since the Zeromax Stealer provides them with the ability to quickly monetize the data they have harvested, without needing to go through the hoops needed to perform fraudulent financial transactions.

Since the Zeromax Stealer may be sold to anyone, it is safe to assume that cybercriminals may rely on all scheme sorts to distribute the threatening program – game cracks, software activators, pirated TV series or movies, fake email attachments, social media publications, etc. The best way to make sure that your Windows computer is protected from threats like the Zeromax Stealer is to invest in a high-quality anti-virus product that receives regular updates.
