New Snake Keylogger targets users in multiple countries and evades detection

Cybersecurity researchers from Fortinet have identified a new keylogger called Snake Keylogger, which has been involved in over 280 million blocked infection attempts. This malware is particularly active in countries like China, Turkey, and Spain. Snake Keylogger spreads mainly through phishing emails and can steal sensitive information from popular web browsers. It employs advanced techniques to evade detection, making it difficult for traditional antivirus software to identify. To protect against this threat, users are advised to be cautious with email attachments and links. Keeping antivirus software updated and improving awareness of phishing tactics are also recommended measures.
