TroubleGrabber, a new credential stealer discovered by Netskope security researchers, spreads via Discord attachments and uses Discord webhooks to deliver stolen information to its operators.
Several threat actors use the new info stealer to target gamers on Discord servers and to steal their passwords and other sensitive information.
Netskope discovered the info stealer in October 2020 while collecting data for a previous report, with TroubleGrabber samples making up over 85% of all 1,650 malware samples targeting Discord during October.
TroubleGrabber steals a wide range of important information including "Web browser tokens, Discord webhook tokens, web browser passwords, and system information."
In some cases, the info stealer also spread among Discord users from over 700 different Discord server channel IDs.
