What is DT Stealer V1.3?
DT Stealer V1.3 is a type of information-stealing malware (infostealer) that extracts valuable data from compromised devices. It is typically distributed through phishing emails, malicious downloads, or exploit kits. Once installed, it operates stealthily to collect credentials, financial data, browser histories, and other sensitive information, which is then exfiltrated to a remote server controlled by cybercriminals.
Key Features of DT Stealer V1.3
1. Credential Theft
- Extracts saved passwords from browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Brave).
- Target password managers like KeePass and LastPass if credentials are cached.
- Steals browser cookies to bypass two-factor authentication (2FA) and hijack active sessions (e.g., social media, banking sites).
- Scans for and extracts private keys from:
- MetaMask
- Exodus
- Electrum
- Binance Chain Wallet
- Searches for and exfiltrates documents (PDFs, Word, Excel), databases, and sensitive files from:
- Desktop
- Downloads folder
- Cloud storage sync folders (Dropbox, Google Drive)
- Logs keystrokes to capture typed passwords and messages.
- Takes screenshots periodically to monitor user activity.
- Process Injection – Hides within legitimate processes (e.g., explorer.exe).
- Persistence – Modifies registry keys or schedules tasks to survive reboots.
- Evades AV Detection – Uses obfuscation, packing, and runtime decryption.
- Some variants send stolen data directly to Telegram bots or Discord webhooks for real-time exfiltration.
- Attackers can configure the malware to target specific data types or avoid certain security checks.
