Security researchers have spotted a new information stealer that collects Chrome login data from infected victims, along with session cookies, and appears to be looking for Facebook details in particular, according to a Radware threat alert the company shared with this reporter.

The new trojan, named Stresspaint, has been found hidden inside a free Windows application named "Relieve Stress Paint," distributed via аоӏ.net —a domain that uses Unicode characters, which when converted to Punycode spell out xn--80a2a18a.net, instead of the real aol.net.
Radware believes crooks are using email and Facebook spam to direct users to this misleading website.
