Cybercriminals using Prynt Stealer to collect data from victims are being swindled by the malware developer, who also receives a copy of the info over Telegram messaging service.
Prynt Stealer can steal cryptocurrency wallet information, sensitive info stored in web browsers, VPN account data, cloud gaming account details.
Zscaler's researchers also note that Prynt Stealer is very similar to the malware families WorldWind and DarkEye, suggesting that the same author is behind them.
Prynt Stealer's builder is meant to help unskilled cybercriminals configure the malware for deployment, setting all parameters and letting the automated tool do the work.
Zscaler's analysts acquired a leaked copy of the builder and found that during execution, a loader fetches 'DarkEye Stealer' from Discord and configures it to exfiltrate data to the author.
The malware author configures the builder to drop and execute LodaRAT, an old yet powerful trojan, that enables remote actors to take control of the infected system, steal information, fetch additional payloads, etc.
