Infostealers remain among the most pervasive cybercrime threats, silently harvesting passwords, cookies, and session tokens that enable enterprise breaches. StealC is a malware-as-a-service infostealer written in C++ that collects credentials from browsers, cryptocurrency wallets, messaging applications, email clients, and gaming platforms while functioning as a secondary loader. Amadey operates as a modular backdoor loader active since 2018, delivering downstream payloads including StealC, Lumma Stealer, and ransomware through various backdoor commands. Both operate on commodity rental models where stolen credentials flow through underground markets to access brokers who resell enterprise access. On June 24, 2026, Microsoft's Digital Crimes Unit coordinated with Europol to disrupt over 200 malicious command-and-control domains supporting these operations, using AI-assisted analysis tools including Microsoft Copilot for binary analysis and configuration extraction.
Olymp Loader is a recently emerged Malware-as-a-Service offering advertised on underground forums since June 2025. Developed by a team called OLYMPO, it's written in assembly language and marketed as fully undetectable. The loader executes other malware on victim systems and provides built-in stealer modules for browsers, Telegram, and crypto wallets. It enables rapid feature updates and fast adoption by cybercriminals. The malware has evolved from an initial botnet concept to focus on loader and crypter functionalities. Distribution methods include disguising as legitimate software and using other malware like Amadey as initial access. Post-infection payloads primarily include credential stealers and remote access tools.
