Fortinet and other vendors have observed a recent increase in SnakeKeylogger (KrakenKeylogger) infections: a .NET-based infostealer that logs keystrokes, steals browser/clipboard credentials, captures screenshots, and exfiltrates data via FTP/SMTP/Telegram. The infections are typically delivered through phishing emails with malicious Office documents or PDFs that run PowerShell downloaders; vendors added detections and advise updating security engines, enabling AV/sandboxing, and exercising email caution.
