The Vidar malware returns in version 2.0.

The Vidar malware returns in version 2.0, aimed at attacking the gamers, hoping to steal the script.

One of the most widespread malware outbreaks is probably not immune to the type of malware that steals data from the victim, or Infostealer, where this type of malware is usually disguised as bootleg software, or fake video games, or game cracks, to always tempt the victim to download, and this time it's the return of one of the newest versions of the famous malware.

According to a report by the website SCWorld, it has detected an Infostealer malware distribution campaign called Vidar 2.0, an upgraded version of Vidar Stealer, through highly reliable channels like GitHub and the famous web board Reddit, by impersonating Cheat, famous video games like Fortnite and Counter-Strike, to be able to cheat games playfully. But in fact, when installed, the victim is immediately infected with malware, which, in the clear use of bait, makes it clear that hackers are mainly aimed at stealing data from gamers.

In this campaign, hackers will hide the link within a professional format (supposedly an advertising image). If the victim accidentally presses the link, the link will lead the victim to the Discord or Reddit platform. In this part, the victim will first alert the victim to shut down anti-virus anti-malware tools to download the game cheat. If you believe it and download it, it will ultimately lead to malware infection. This malware is effective at stealing Crypto Kerrency coins that the victim invested in from the victim's wallet, Data for login to Steam and Discord platforms, and password information

Sources have also revealed that this latest version of the malware has better stealth capabilities within the system than the original version because it was rewritten using the C + + language, as well as using PowerShell scripts on the Telegram chat service. It works as a network for malware control (C2 or Command and Control). It is also difficult to detect by various protection tools at the same time.
