Summary

Hide ▲

The Venom Stealer malware-as-a-service platform has been identified as a credential-theft threat that keeps exfiltrating data after infection, extending the window for account takeover and crypto theft. It folds ClickFix social engineering into its operator panel so attackers can automate the path from lure to data theft. The malware targets Chromium and Firefox-based browsers for saved passwords, session cookies, autofill data, browsing history, and wallet information. The platform is also sold on cybercrime networks and was described as actively maintained with multiple updates in March 2026.
