New Chrome Password Stealer Sends Stolen Data to a MongoDB Database

While this is nothing unique, what stands out is that the malware uses a remote MongoDB database to store the stolen passwords. This trojan is called CStealer, and like many other info-stealing trojans, was created to target and steal login credentials that were saved in Google Chrome's password manager. Instead of compiling the stolen passwords into a file and sending them to a C2 under the attackers control, the malware connects directly to a remote MongoDB database and uses it to store the stolen credentials. To do this, the malware includes hardcoded MongoDB credentials and utilizes the MongoDB C Driver as a client library to connect to the database. Hardcoded MongoDB Credentials When passwords are stolen, the malware will connect to the database and store the passwords as seen by the network traffic created after it was tested by James. Anyone analyzing this malware, whether it be law enforcement, researchers, or other threat actors, can retrieve the hard coded credentials and use them to gain access to the stolen credentials.

Connecticut School District Offline After Cyberattack

Fiscal data and student data is stored remotely — not part of the school network — so that data wasn’t affected, Director of Innovation, Technology and Communications Karen Kaplan said. Schools have remained in session since the attack and staff have been allowed to use their devices offline. The administration sent a voice message to parents and posted it on the school website that schools should be contacted by phone and not email until the issue is resolved. “What’s most important to us is we have no reason to believe that any student data was stolen or that any student data was accessed in any way,” Kaplan said. The schools use many online services, which will be down until the end of next week or longer, Kaplan said, but then schools will be brought back one at a time as each device is individually cleaned. Kaplan said the district has tried to teach staff to recognize phishing emails and since the attack they’ve asked administrators to review protocol for when suspicious emails are received by staff.
