New PXA Stealer targets government and education sectors for sensitive information

• Cisco Talos discovered a new information stealing campaign operated by a Vietnamese-speaking threat actor targeting government and education entities in Europe and Asia.
• We discovered a new Python program called PXA Stealer that targets victims’ sensitive information, including credentials for various online accounts, VPN and FTP clients, financial information, browser cookies, and data from gaming software.
• PXA Stealer has the capability to decrypt the victim’s browser master password and uses it to steal the stored credentials of various online accounts.
• The attacker has used complex obfuscation techniques for the batch scripts used in this campaign.
• We discovered the attacker selling credentials and tools in the Telegram channel “Mua Bán Scan MINI,” which is where the CoralRaider adversary operates, but we are not sure if the attacker belongs to the CoralRaider threat group or another Vietnamese cybercrime group.
