New malware steals credit card information from Facebook.

Cybersecurity researchers have just discovered a new malware that steals credit card information from Facebook accounts.

According to TechRadar , cybersecurity researchers have just discovered a new variant of the Python malware NodeStealer, capable of stealing credit card information from users' Facebook Business and Facebook Ads Manager accounts.

The NodeStealer malware is attacking Facebook accounts to steal credit card information.

Previously, Python NodeStealer primarily targeted Facebook Business accounts to steal login credentials. However, the new version of this malware has been upgraded with more dangerous features, allowing it to attack Facebook Ads Manager accounts and steal credit card data stored in the browser.

Accordingly, the Python NodeStealer malware will copy the browser's Web Data database, which stores sensitive information such as autofill information and payment methods. It will then use Python's SQLite3 library to extract credit card information from this database.

Notably, this malware also exploits the Windows restart manager to unlock database files, making it easy to steal data undetected.

Experts believe the Python NodeStealer malware was developed by a hacking group in Vietnam. Their goal is to hijack verified Facebook accounts to carry out malicious advertising campaigns.

Experts also advise Facebook users to be more vigilant, avoid clicking on suspicious links, and regularly check their account security. Using strong passwords and enabling two-factor authentication will provide better account protection.
