Today we're talking about one of the most dangerous yet underestimated threats in cybersecurity right now. While everyone's worried about ransomware making headlines with million-dollar extortion demands, there's a quieter threat that's actually fueling those attacks. It's called infostealer malware, and in 2024 alone, these silent digital pickpockets were responsible for nearly one in four cyberattacks. They stole over 2 billion credentials and enabled some of the most devastating breaches of the year. The scary part? Most victims don't even know they've been infected until it's far too late.
