Malware
Infostealer
In Turkish: Bilgi çalan yazılım (infostealer)
Malware that collects saved passwords, cookies, card details and crypto wallets from your device and sends them away.
An infostealer looks in the places where software keeps things for convenience: passwords saved in the browser, session cookies that keep you signed in, files in the wallet folder. It copies them and leaves, often within minutes.
Stolen session cookies can let someone enter your account without a password. If you think you ran something harmful, signing out of all sessions and changing passwords from a clean device is the first step.
What to do
- After running something suspicious, change passwords from a clean device and sign out of all sessions.
- Keep important passwords in a password manager rather than in the browser's autofill alone.
- Turn on two-step verification so a stolen password is not enough.
