13. Infostealers on the Dark Web

In this episode of The Dark Dive we're looking at a particular type of malware called Information Stealers or "infostealers". This malware is designed to (you guessed it!) steal information from infected devices.

Threat Intelligence Engineers Rob Fitzsimons and Joe Honey discuss exactly how infostealers work, why this malware has become so prolific, and where it can be spotted on the dark web. 

During the episode we cover the differences between different strains of infostealer, recent law enforcement action that has succeeded in taking infostealers offline, and how organizations should be protecting themselves.
