Demystifying Myth Stealer: An ‘InfoStealer’ that targeted video games | Trellix


Trellix Advanced Research Center identified a fully undetected infostealer malware sample written in Rust code that targeted games.

The malware authors regularly update stealer code to evade AV detection and introduce additional functionality such as screen capture capability and clipboard hijacking. In another instance, we uncovered an actor who had posted a link to a malicious RAR file in an online forum under the guise of a cheat software named “ddtrace krx ultimate Crack”. The consistent development and enhancement of Myth Stealer underscore the attackers’ determination to stay ahead of security defenses, posing a serious and persistent risk to users, particularly gamers targeted through fraudulent gaming websites.
