Malware Targets Browser Variants, Crypto Wallets & Password Managers

[somdcomputerguy]

I wasn't surprised to see Chrome and many of its' flavors on the browser list, I was surprised and not too concerned about it anyway to see this browser and Basilisk as well. The password manager I use wasn't listed, although one of its forks was, and only one

Just make sure you use a strong master password of sufficient length. They won't be able to do anything with your password store in that case even if stolen

That's good advice in any instance that requires a password. I even have the database file that has all the passwords and other stuff that I want kept private available to anyone with an internet connection. This worries me not at all, and hasn't for the past couple decades.

This Medusa Stealer malware seems to be targeting Windows machines and needs Windows' system structure to work. It doesn't look like it's targeting any vulnerability that's inherent to Pale Moon, but just digging around for typical browser history and password data that's kept within known Windows file structures.

I agree.
