The developers of the Typhon info-stealer announced on a dark web forum that they have updated the malware to a major version they advertise as 'Typhon Reborn V2'. They boast significant improvements designed to thwart analysis via anti-virtualization mechanisms.
The original Typhon was discovered by malware analysts in August 2022.
While the initial version was sold via Telegram for a single lifetime payment of $50, the malware developers also offered to distribute Typhon for roughly $100 per 1,000 victims.
Data collection capabilities have been expanded in the latest version of Typhon as it now targets a larger number of apps, including gaming clients.
Cisco Talos' analysis can help malware researchers come up with proper detection mechanisms for the new Typhon version, since its relatively low cost and capabilities are likely to increase its popularity.
