Topic: Inside the Infostealer Economy: How Threat Actors Turn Stolen Credentials into Enterprise Breaches
Infostealer malware has emerged as one of the most significant threats facing organizations today. Millions of credentials, session tokens, browser cookies, and other sensitive data elements are harvested daily and sold through a thriving underground economy. These stolen assets frequently become the initial access vectors for ransomware attacks, business email compromise, account takeovers, and large-scale enterprise breaches.
This presentation provides a technical and operational examination of the modern infostealer ecosystem. Attendees will learn how infostealers infect systems, what data they collect, how threat actors monetize stolen information, and how organizations can identify and mitigate risks associated with credential theft. Drawing from current threat intelligence research and real-world examples, this session provides practical guidance that security practitioners can immediately apply within their own environments.
Attendee Takeaways
- Understanding the current infostealer threat landscape
- How stolen credentials, cookies, and session tokens are harvested and sold
- The connection between infostealers, ransomware, business email compromise, and account takeover
- Common indicators of compromise and investigative techniques
- Practical threat intelligence applications for security teams
- Detection, response, and prevention strategies to reduce organizational risk
