An emergent and effective data-harvesting tool dubbed Oski is proliferating in North America and China, stealing online account credentials, credit-card numbers, cryptowallet accounts and more.

Oski started out targeting victims in North America, but in the last few days has added China to its set of targeted geographies.

"The Oski stealer is still picking up infections and now we have seen the gears have shifted from the U.S. to the China region."

"Oski stealer uses HTTP protocol to transmit data from the compromised end-user system. Data is transmitted as part of HTTP POST body and sent in a compressed format."

"If an advanced exploit is used to deliver the payload carrying Oski stealer, it is fair to assume that Oski stealer can stay undetected in the system," according to the paper.
