Kaspersky warns about new malware targeting Windows users
According to BlockBeats, the global cybersecurity company Kaspersky has issued an urgent warning regarding a new sophisticated tool for stealing information called 'Stealka.' This malware has begun large-scale attacks on Windows users. Discovered at the end of 2025, Stealka is specifically designed to collect sensitive financial data, browser credentials, and information about cryptocurrency wallets.
The malware is primarily distributed through deceptive platforms such as GitHub and SourceForge, masquerading as pirated software or cracked versions of popular applications. Stealka poses a significant threat due to the use of advanced obfuscation techniques, allowing it to bypass traditional signature-based security solutions and remain undetected during comprehensive scans of victims' devices.
This threat emerges against the backdrop of nearly 60% growth in password theft detections over the year, marking a more aggressive phase in the evolution of digital financial crime.$BNB
