VERY IMPORTANT

Infostealer is one of the most profitable tools for cybercriminals, as information gathered from systems infected with this malware could be sold in the cybercrime underground or used for credential stuffing attacks. The Zscaler ThreatLabZ team came across a new Infostealer called PurpleWave, which is written in C++ and silently installs itself onto a user’s system. It connects to a command and control (C&C) server to send system information and installs new malware onto the infected system.
