What is Krypton Stealer?
It’s one thing to deal with a ransomware infection, and then it’s another thing to deal with Trojan.

Where does Krypton Stealer come from?
If we knew the exact distribution patterns employed by this Trojan, it would be a lot easier to warn users about it. However, now we can just say that you should look out for unfamiliar messages from unknown senders either in your instant messaging windows or in your email inboxes.
Normally, Krypton Stealer and other Trojans enter target systems pretending to be something they are not. So it is common to see Trojans being delivered by spam email. Spam email campaigns that distribute malware often look very sophisticated, and a regular user may not be able to differentiate between a decent email and a fake. As a result, users accidentally get pushed into downloading and opening installers that launch Krypton Stealer and other malware.
How would it be possible to avoid Krypton Stealer? For one, you can delete spam email the moment it reaches you no questions asked. Also, if you think that the message you have received is important, but you want to be 100% sure about safety, you can use the SpyHunter free scanner to scan the attached file. If the scanner doesn’t find anything suspicious, feel free to open the file in question.

Unfortunately, a lot of users opened the Trojan installer file without scanning it, and this infection entered their systems. Now, a Trojan might remain on your computer for quite a while before you notice that this program is running and that something is wrong. Also, Krypton Stealer might perform a variety of malicious acts, depending on what the criminals in the command and control (C&C) center tell it to do.

Since Krypton Stealer is an info-stealing Trojan, it will employ all the possible information gathering techniques to collect as much sensitive information, as well. We know that this program targets such information as credit card data, personal passwords, your web search history, auto-completion details, and download information. To access that information, Krypton Stealer collects data from Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, Amigo, Vivaldi, Maxthon, Yandex, Brave, and QQBrowsers. It can also steal credentials from Filezilla, TotalCommander, FTBNavigator, and Proton and Nord VPN clients.
All the information collected by Krypton Stealer will be transmitted to the remote server via the Internet connection. Afterwards, it is up to the hackers themselves, what they want to do with that information.
