TJX Hacker Albert Gonzalez Claims Government Made Him Do It

DumpBrowserSecrets is a publicly available post‑exploitation tool that harvests browser-stored credentials (cookies, saved logins, OAuth refresh tokens, credit cards, autofill data, history, bookmarks) from Chromium-based and Firefox browsers. It bypasses Chrome's App-Bound Encryption by spawning a headless Chromium process and injecting a DLL via Early Bird APC to call the IElevator COM interface, supports DPAPI and NSS decryption for other browsers, includes multiple evasion techniques (string obfuscation, API hashing, PPID/argument spoofing, handle duplication), outputs structured JSON for red‑team use, and includes recommended detection and mitigation controls.
