Over 4,000 victims in 62 countries have been targeted by the PXA Stealer malware, which has stolen hundreds of credit card numbers, 200,000 passwords, and over 4 million browser cookies. This Python-based infostealer uses sophisticated phishing techniques and has evolved to evade detection, exfiltrating sensitive data through Telegram-based marketplaces.

More than 31,000 banking passwords from Australian customers of major banks have been stolen and are being traded online, primarily due to malware infections on users' devices. Cybersecurity experts warn that these stolen credentials pose a significant risk of financial theft, as infostealer malware can capture a wide range of sensitive information. The rise in infostealer infections highlights the ongoing threat to personal security and the need for effective protective measures.
