AI-Powered Cybercrime in 2025 – The Dark Web’s New Arms Race

DumpBrowserSecrets is a publicly documented post-exploitation tool that harvests browser-stored credentials and session tokens from major Windows browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera variants, Vivaldi, and Firefox). It implements an App‑Bound Encryption bypass for Chromium-based browsers by spawning a headless Chromium process, injecting a DLL via Early Bird APC to call the IElevator COM interface and decrypt encryption keys, and includes multiple operational evasion techniques; the tool outputs structured JSON containing cookies, OAuth refresh tokens, saved logins, credit card data, autofill entries and history, making it a high-risk capability for lateral movement and cloud account takeover if used by an attacker.
