Raccoon Stealer

Raccoon Stealer 是什么?

Raccoon StealerA long-running malware-as-a-service info-stealer first seen in 2019; its operator was arrested in 2022 and the project was restarted as Raccoon v2, then progressively eclipsed by Lumma and RedLine.


Raccoon Stealer is a malware-as-a-service info-stealer first observed in 2019, originally written in C/C++ and rented to affiliates on Russian-speaking forums for a flat monthly fee. It collected browser passwords, cookies, autofill, crypto-wallet files, FTP and email credentials, screenshots, and host details, and was among the top-three commodity stealers globally through 2020–2021. In March 2022 the operation paused after the FBI and Dutch national police arrested its alleged developer Mark Sokolovsky and seized infrastructure. A v2 (Raccoon v2 / RecordBreaker) re-launched in mid-2022 with a faster C++ rewrite, but by 2024 the project had largely been displaced by Lumma, RedLine, and StealC. Distribution leaned heavily on cracked software, malvertising, exploit kits, and Discord links. Raccoon's takedown is often cited as a case study in how arresting a single Russian-speaking operator can suppress but not eliminate a malware family.
