The information-stealing malware market is constantly evolving, with multiple malware operations competing for cybercriminal customers by promoting better evasion and increased ability to steal data from victims.
Information stealers are specialized malware used to steal account passwords, cookies, credit card details, and crypto wallet data from infected systems, which are then collected into archives called 'logs' and uploaded back to the threat actors.
Although older strains like RedLine, Raccoon, and Vidar continue to have a significant presence, and newer families like Aurora, Mars, and Meta are still growing, new malware families are also trying to make a name for themselves this year.
LummaC2 sells for $250 to $1000 per month, depending on the selected features, and KELA says the malware enjoys a very good reputation in the cybercrime underground.
KELA's report also highlights a new product type that has emerged lately, named "Clouds of Logs," which is to sell subscriptions to access private cloud-hosted log collections created by threat actors distributing info-stealer malware.
The emergence of new info-stealers priced competitively lowers the entry barrier for cybercriminals, especially in the case of Titan, which sells for just $120/month.
