Summary

Hide ▲

The LofyGang crew has re-emerged with a Minecraft-player targeting operation that uses LofyStealer (GrabBot), increasing the risk of credential and payment-data theft in the gaming cohort. The lure disguises itself as a fake "Slinky" hack and uses the official game icon to prompt execution. The infection chain starts with a JavaScript loader that deploys chromelevator.exe in memory. Harvested cookies, passwords, tokens, cards, and IBANs are sent to a 24.152.36[.]241 command-and-control server.

    LofyGang resurfaces with Minecraft LofyStealer campaign

    Initial Disclosure

    LofyGang resurfaced after more than three years with a campaign against Minecraft players that used a fake 'Slinky' hack and the official game icon to prompt execution of a JavaScript loader, which deployed LofyStealer (aka GrabBot, 'chromelevator.exe') in memory and exfiltrated cookies, passwords, tokens, cards, and IBANs from browsers including Google Chrome, Chrome Beta, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Opera GX, Mozilla Firefox, and Avast Browser to 24.152.36[.]241.
