A malware stole about 26 million user login credentials from almost a million websites!<\/b><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to <\/span>The National News<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/span>, hackers have stolen 1.2 terabytes of personal information using trojan-type malware. The report says the malware was transmitted through email and illegal software. The software includes Adobe Photoshop 2018, a Windows cracking tool, and several cracked games.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hackers used the malware to steal nearly 26 million login credentials between 2018 and 2020. The worst part is such trojan-type malware is available for a price as low as $100, the report mentions. Furthermore, it says that stolen records of UAE residents can cost almost an average of $25 each. Moreover, it is worth noting that the records from the UAE are among the most expensive ones for sale on the dark web<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
