Summary

Hide ▲

The Venom Stealer infostealer now ships as malware-as-a-service (MaaS), expanding access to a persistent credential-theft tool and raising risk for Windows users. It steals browser passwords, session cookies, autofill data, and cryptocurrency wallet vaults. March 2026 updates added a silent background listener that keeps checking for newly saved passwords and wallet activity. The kit also uses ClickFix social engineering lures and automated exfiltration and cracking steps to speed theft and fund sweeping.
