The social media giant also noted a new malware it discovered in January called NodeStealer. Much like DuckTail, the malware targets Windows-based browsers with the ultimate aim of stealing cookies and saved login details to compromise Facebook, Gmail and Microsoft Outlook accounts. Meta said it took early action against the malware, which it has also attributed to Vietnamese threat actors. Meta said it submitted takedown requests with domain registrars and hosting providers, which were malware targeted to facilitate its distribution, within two weeks of discovering the malware.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese actions led to a successful disruption of the malware. We have not observed any new samples of malware in the NodeStealer family since February 27 of this year and continue monitoring for any potential future activity,\u201d said Nguyen and Victory.<\/p>\n
