The developers of Raccoon Stealer information-stealing malware have ended their 6-month hiatus from hacker forums to promote a new 2.3.0 version of the malware to cyber criminals.
In a new post to a hacker forum first spotted by VX-Underground, the malware's current authors informed the cybercriminal community that they're back, having spent their time "Working tirelessly" to bring them new features that will enrich the user experience.
These new features were implemented after "Customer" feedback, requests, and cybercrime trends, aiming to keep the malware in the top tier of the info-stealers market.
First, a new quick search tool in the Raccoon Stealer dashboard allows hackers to easily find specific stolen data and retrieve credentials, documents, or other stolen data from massive datasets.
Secondly, the new Raccoon version features a system that counters suspicious activities that might be related to security-assisting bots, like multiple access events generated from the same IP. In those cases, Raccoon will automatically delete the corresponding records and update all client pads accordingly.
