This New Tool Can Steal Your Passwords And Info – Even With 2FA Enabled
Storm, a new Windows‑only infostealer discovered in early 2026, can steal encrypted browser data, decrypt it on remote servers, and use harvested session cookies to bypass two‑factor authentication. The malware exfiltrates passwords, autofill details, crypto‑wallet credentials, and messaging app data, then sells the loot to its operators. Storm is offered as a subscription service, with a $300 demo, $900 monthly, and $1,800 enterprise plans that allow up to 100 attackers. Its ability to operate without local decryption makes it a fast‑growing threat before browsers can patch the exploited vectors.
