New Snake Keylogger variant targets Windows users and blocks 280 million infection attempts

A new variant of the Snake Keylogger malware has been discovered, targeting Windows users and blocking over 280 million infection attempts globally. The malware aims to steal sensitive data, including credentials and browser information. The Snake Keylogger operates in three phases: distributing through phishing emails, collecting data by capturing keystrokes, and transmitting stolen information to remote servers. It employs advanced techniques to avoid detection. This variant uses obfuscation tools to bypass antivirus defenses and targets browser-stored credentials. Experts recommend caution with emails, using updated security tools, and keeping software up to date to reduce risks.
