One of the most prominent threats right now is Infostealers. These would be a kind of malware that captures information from devices and sends the stolen data to an attacker. While this technique is integrated in other attacks (f.e. ransomware) it could work on its own, for selling, cyber espionage and more.


In the past months, one of the most popular exfiltration attempts was done through Telegram or Discord bots (as well as C2-Command and Control attempts).
