Sophos explains the threat dynamics and consequences of infostealers. <em>An information stealer, or \u201cinfostealer,\u201d is a type of malware that silently collects sensitive data from a victim\u2019s device and transmits it to threat actors. This malware can steal personal information such as usernames and passwords, financial details, browser history, and other data on a targeted system.\u00a0What happens to those credentials once they\u2019re stolen, though? Once credentials leave your network, they rarely stay unused.\u00a0Threat actors can use them in a variety of ways, including extortion, future ransomware deployment, business email compromise (BEC), and other costly cyber attacks<\/em>. <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/en-us\/2025\/11\/14\/infostealers-and-follow-on-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Sophos<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>OpenText, Capgemini, and Sogeti on AI adoption in quality engineering<\/strong>.
