1. Executive Summary

Stealerium is an open-source information-stealer that’s gone mainstream—weaponized by cybercriminals deploying automated sextortion via real-time screenshots and webcam captures when NSFW content is detected in browser tabs. A surge in attacks during May–August 2025 underscores its real-world impact and threat to user privacy.

2. The Anatomy of Stealerium

Initially released in 2022 via GitHub by “witchfindertr”, Stealerium masqueraded as an educational tool. Cyber actors quickly repurposed it, expanding it with full exfiltration capabilities—to Telegram, Discord, SMTP, and beyond.

3. The Sextortion Twist: Automated Privacy Violation

Stealerium stands out for its unsettling automated sextortion functionality—it scans for NSFW keywords and when triggered, captures both browser screenshots and webcam images. This removes the “threat through claim” model and replaces it with authentic, actionable blackmail content.

4. Delivery Mechanisms & Attack Campaigns

Proofpoint observed stealer campaigns from threat actors TA2715 and TA2536 using salary invoices, legal notices, travel bookings, and donation appeals to lure victims. Attachments included EXEs, ISOs, VBScript, IMG, ACE archives, and JavaScript.

5. Evolution & Variant Landscape

• StealeriumPy: Variant delivered via “ClickFix” pop-ups prompting fake CAPTCHA or technical fixes, leading to execution of loaders (e.g., twonelf.exe) and payload injection into RegAsm.exe.
  (turn0search8, turn0search9)
• Phantom Stealer, Warp Stealer: Other variants share Stealerium code and extend functionality.

Stealerium variants include:

• Credential, crypto wallet, Wi-Fi, VPN, browser data theft
• Keystroke logging & wallet clipping
• Use of netsh wlan enumeration, PowerShell Defender exclusions, and scheduled tasks.
