CollectorGoomba

CollectorGoomba is the name of a hacking tool that is offered as a malware-as-a-commodity on various underground forums infested with cybercriminals. The CollectorGoomba threat serves as a tool that will enable its operators to obtain sensitive information from their victims.

The fact that the CollectorGoomba malware is available for purchase online makes it far more dangerous, as it is likely that multiple threat actors would be distributing it using a variety of infection vectors. This will likely increase the infection rate dramatically compared to having only one threat actor propagating it. More and more cybercriminals who develop threats opt to sell them online, instead of using them themselves. This makes a lot of sense since it allows the developers of the threat to generate revenue from it without risking to face the negative consequences of using and distributing malware.

The CollectorGoomba threat targets data stored in the Web browser mainly. This means that this hacking tool can collect cookies, browsing history, autofill information, and other data that may be found in the victim's Web browser. The CollectorGoomba threat is known to target Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and other popular Web browsers. Apart from Web browsers, the CollectorGoomba malware also targets data stored in other services such as Steam, Discord, NordVPN, Pidgin, FileZilla and Authy.

Having the ability to access and collect such a wide variety of data makes the CollectorGoomba malware a particularly severe threat. The threat actor who collects the data can either choose to extort the victims or sell their data to an ill-minded third-party who will not hesitate to use it for nefarious purposes.

If you want to protect your data and your system from nasty threats like the CollectorGoomba malware, you should consider investing in an up-to-date, modern anti-malware solution.
