A new information stealer named ExelaStealer has become the latest entrant to an already crowded landscape filled with various off-the-shelf malware designed to capture sensitive data from compromised Windows systems.

"ExelaStealer is a largely open-source infostealer with paid customizations available from the threat actor," Fortinet FortiGuard Labs researcher James Slaughter said in a technical report.

Written in Python and incorporating support for JavaScript, it comes fitted with capabilities to siphon passwords, Discord tokens, credit cards, cookies and session data, keystrokes, screenshots, and clipboard content.
 
The infostealer family is growing, unfortunately for users, but especially for cyber-criminals, who will have an additional tool at their disposal, even if the infostealer world is dominated by RedLineStealer, which is in the lead.

But I can think of others, such as LummaStealer, StealC and MarsStealer.....
