This report takes a real life example of an infostealer infection in an international professional services firm to demonstrate how this malware can be overcome with dark web monitoring.
Infostealer malware has emerged as a rapidly growing threat in recent years, with 2024 research showing a 266 percent year-on-year increase in infostealer activity. If organizations aren’t aware of what their employees are downloading onto their devices, there might be a chance they could be the next victim of an infostealer data breach. And with infostealers having the potential to go unnoticed and undetected by some traditional cybersecurity methods, this could eventually lead to employees’ credentials being sold on the dark web.
However if an organization – like the professional services firm in this report – monitors their threats on the dark web, they can identify infostealer infections and find out enough information to take mitigative action. This real life case demonstrates how an organization found, investigated, and mitigated an infostealer infection with the help of Searchlight’s dark web monitoring.
Find out how to protect against infostealers on the dark web through:
- Investigation: Identify leaked credentials, trace the source of the breach to infostealer malware, and pinpoint the infected devices for quick incident response.
- Continuous monitoring: Continuously monitor the dark web for leaked credentials, to ensure any missed data breaches are quickly remediated and do not escalate further.
- Process: Understand the source of an infostealer infiltration to inform and implement new security policies and procedures that will enable a better security posture in an organization.
