Cybersecurity Insiders – Naveen Goud
VirusTotal, an anti-malware solution provider, is now offering a service that can collect credentials stolen by malicious software aka malware. And the Ireland-based company states that the info might have uploaded onto its cloud by its users to check whether itâs free from any kind of malware- without knowing a fact that it contains critical details.
To prove it, researchers from SafeBreach purchased a â¬600 license from the anti-malware firm to collect over 1,000,000 usernames and passwords stored on the cloud based database of the said company.
Tomer Bar, the Director of Security Research at SafeBreach, confirmed the report and stated that the data must have been uploaded onto the servers of VirusTotal either by mistake or with a purpose that has now landed in the hands of its researchers.
