Hackers have redirected Windows 11 programs with a new campaign that tricked its users into downloading and installing malware. Once in a targeted system, the malware is able to collect web browser cookies and other stored credentials, including data from cryptocurrency wallets and the file system.

A malware program discovered by cybersecurity researchers at CloudSEK. As it uses the Inno Setup Windows installer to launch itself into the system, the malware is labeled "InnoStealer." In a technical report shared with BleepingComputer, researchers stated that the Inno Stealer has no resemblance to any other type of malicious computer that steals information.

Since its discovery, security researchers have raised alarms about malware, as it has a wide range of targeted browsers and crypto wallets. Inno Stealer's compromised browsers include Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, 360 Browser, and Comodo. A malware is able to steal cookies and information stored on these web browsers and send them to a cyber criminal.

The added risk is that malware is allowing cybercriminals to download additional paid loads into the system. The report notes that the act took place only at night when the victim was not at the computer. New payloads, in the form of TXT files, can then continue to press security settings on the system. Inno Stealer was then able to steal the clipboard information and extract the database calculation data.
