Background

Arkei is an information stealer that surfaced around May 2018. It harvests browser data (stored passwords and autofill entries), cryptocurrency wallets, and any files that match a pattern defined by the attacker. The gathered material is then bundled into a zip archive and uploaded to the operator's panel. The stealer was later forked to serve as the foundation for the Vidar stealer.
