A security company investigation found warnings about the malware known as “RedLine Stealer”. The report said that users who saved their passwords in the browser are particularly endangered.
RedLine Stealer, a software that targets credentials and login data, is not actually newly discovered but is popular with cybercriminals because it is easily distributed and effective. This malware was developed in Russia and sold in cybercrime forums for $150-200.
According to the report, this malware targets passwords saved by using the easy sign-in feature of web browsers. According to a given example, a user’s login information stolen with a RedLine Stealer was used to access the company’s network despite having a security package installed on the system and could not be detected by malware security software.
RedLine Stealer targets the “login data” file found in all Chromium-based web browsers and appears as a trojan.

What should we pay attention to for safe browsing on the internet?
Don’t click on every link!
If you DON’T CLICK on links, there’s very little chance of infection. You shouldn’t click on ads that promise bids that are too good to be true. You should also be wary of misleading popups.
Be selective when downloading!
Downloading more programs for your work increases your chances of infecting harmful content. Be careful what you download.
Download only from secure sources!
For your safety, choose to download from the developer’s official website rather than using a file download site when you need to download something.
Always check the site name!
In some cases, you might receive requests to click on a link and make a payment, often leading to addresses that closely resemble the genuine ones. They typically attempt to deceive by making slight changes to the name of the original site.
Don’t open things you don’t trust!
A virus or worm can’t harm you unless you open a malicious program. That is, downloading only one file does not pose a danger to you. If you think the file is unsafe after downloading, do not open or delete its contents directly until you verify it.
Check and be aware of file extensions!
Be very careful about executable (exe) files. Malicious files try to deceive you by using misleading extensions such as “.txt.vb” or”. jpg. exe”.
Don’t spread your email address!
If a site wants your email address, it may be malicious. Your inbox may be filled with spam. Do not give your corporate email address to any site if possible.
Use a secure internet connection!
It is very risky for email, banking, and social media transactions on public Wi-Fi networks such as cafes, airports, or hotels. Smartphones, laptops, tablets, or public computers, connect to networks you always trust whatever you’re using.
