Security News > 2023 > January > Titan Stealer: A New Golang-Based Information Stealer Malware Emerges

A new Golang-based information stealer malware dubbed Titan Stealer is being advertised by threat actors through their Telegram channel.

Titan is offered as a builder, enabling customers to customize the malware binary to include specific functionalities and the kind of information to be exfiltrated from a victim's machine.

The exact modus operandi used to distribute the malware is unclear as yet, but traditionally threat actors have leveraged a number of methods, such as phishing, malicious ads, and cracked software.

"One of the primary reasons may be using Golang for their information stealer malware is because it allows them to easily create cross-platform malware that can run on multiple operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, and macOS," Cyble said in its own analysis of Titan Stealer.

The development arrives a little over two months after SEKOIA detailed another Go-based malware referred to as Aurora Stealer that's being put to use by several criminal actors in their campaigns.

The malware is typically propagated via lookalike websites of popular software, with the same domains actively updated to host trojanized versions of different applications.
