An infostealing piece of malware called Jester Stealer has been gaining popularity in the underground cybercrime community for its functionality and affordable prices.
According to an analysis from Cyble Research, Jester Stealer is an emerging threat that first appeared on cybercrime forums in July 2021.
Jester Stealer is a multifunctional malware that combines the functions of a stealer, clipper, crypto-miner, and botnet.
In addition to the above, Jester Stealer can also grab screenshots, profile the host system to gather basic information, and also steals network passwords.
The Jester Stealer is a.Net-based malware that typically gets to the target systems via phishing emails, disguised as a txt, jar, ps1, bat, png, doc, xls, pdf, mp3, mp4, or a ppt file attachment.
Once the exfiltration is done, Jester Stealer deletes itself from the infected machine to minimize the chances of the victim ever realizing the data breach.
