Thirtyseven4 EDR Security: Passwords Stealers Now Relying on AI
Thieves in movies are usually depicted as villains, and in the cyber landscape the same is true. However, while actors like Danny Ocean (played by George Clooney) in Ocean’s 11, relied on his character’s skillful tactics and the unique talents and expertise of friends to pull off the ultimate heist and “win” in Las Vegas, cybercriminals today are now utilizing an outside source (generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools) to “up” their theft game to a whole new level.
Recent analysis of AI tools and services like PassGAN demonstrated how 51% of passwords scanned can be cracked in under a minute. In fact, if your password is under 10 characters, it’ll only take 2 weeks to crack. Simple 10-character passwords made up of just numbers or lowercase letters can be cracked in under 24 hours. If these statistics are alarming, they should be. The advanced robbery-style programming for hackers to access has multiplied in (only) the past six months, and so have their malicious outcomes. If you’re still relying on short, or non-complex passwords for your financial/e-commerce/social media accounts…the time has absolutely come to elevate the difficulty of your passwords.
The rise of malware-exploiting-advancements in AI and other cutting-edge technologies is not limited to malicious applications seeking to (merely) steal passwords. Additional programs such as information stealers or data stealers are also posing a high-level security threat to home users, businesses, schools, and financial institutes. Malware such as the ‘White Snake Stealer’ are purposefully coded to break into devices and export valuable data, including personal information, login credentials, financial details, and intellectual property. In the case of the White Snake Stealer, it zeroes in on a wide array of diverse applications. Applications like cryptocurrency wallets and FTP clients take screenshots and capture webcam footage in the process of stealing passwords, cookies, credit card numbers and other critical financial data. The White Snake Stealer is actively being developed, continually updated, and distributed through the Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) model. At the time of this post, this dubious program can be purchased (or rented) by anyone on the dark web for $120 USD/month or purchased outright for $1,500 USD.
It’s one thing to use our own creative juices to make something happen as Danny Ocean did in Oceans 11, (we recommend utilizing your gifts for positive outcomes for yourself and others, rather than negative), but as hackers tap-in to Artificial Intelligence (AI) more heavily for personal gain and our violation, no one really comes out a winner.
The best offense is a proactive defense, and we recommend Thirtyseven4 EDR Security. We would be privileged to protect you and secure data/information/piece-of-mind is always a win.
