Stresspaint Malware Campaign Targeting Facebook Credentials
released on 2018-04-20 @ 01:48:32 PM
On April 12, 2018, Radware’s threat research group detected malicious activity via internal feeds of a group collecting user credentials and payment methods from Facebook users across the globe. The group manipulates victims via phishing emails to download a painting application called ‘Relieve Stress Paint.’ While benign in appearance, it runs a malware dubbed ‘Stresspaint’ in the background. Within a few days, the group had infected over 40,000 users, stealing tens of thousands Facebook user credentials/cookies. This rapid distribution and high infection rate indicates this malware was developed professionally.
