Infostealers are spread via malicious downloads, fake websites, and YouTube tutorials.

Infostealers are malicious software designed to steal sensitive information from computers, such as passwords, credit card information, bank account numbers, and other confidential data. Unfortunately, threat actors have also adopted this tactic.

Threat actors are using various tactics to spread the malicious software, including screen recordings, audio walkthroughs, and, more recently, AI-generated personas, which appear more trustworthy and familiar to users.ĪI-generated videos featuring synthetic personas are on the rise, used in various languages and platforms for recruitment, education, and promotional purposes. These videos pretend to be tutorials on downloading cracked versions of licensed software, such as Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Autodesk 3ds Max, AutoCAD, and others, available only to paid users. CloudSEK researchers have detected an increase of 200-300% month-on-month in YouTube videos containing links to stealer malware such as Vidar, RedLine, and Raccoon in their descriptions since November 2022.
