[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1057039, member: 52014"] Running any type of malware, including a stealer, is not safe, even in a fresh virtual machine (VM). Malware is specifically designed to exploit vulnerabilities and compromise the security of a system or steal sensitive information. While running a stealer in a VM may provide some level of isolation and limit the potential damage, there are still risks involved. Malware can often find ways to escape the VM environment, especially if it has been specifically designed to do so. Additionally, running malware of any kind, even in a controlled environment, may still expose the VM to other risks, such as network vulnerabilities or the potential for the malware to download additional malicious payloads. Furthermore, even in a fresh VM, there may still be valuable information present, such as login credentials or personal data. Malware can attempt to steal this information and potentially compromise your online accounts or invade your privacy. Ultimately, it is best to avoid running any kind of malware, including a stealer, in any environment, as it poses significant risks to your security and personal data. [/QUOTE]
