Decoding the Inner Workings of DarkCloud Stealer

DarkCloud is an actively observed information-stealer distributed via spam campaigns and sold via a customizable builder; the report details a multi-stage infection chain (loader -> VB -> .NET payload), persistence via scheduled tasks, extensive credential and file harvesting from browsers, FTP clients, VPNs, crypto apps and password stores, and multiple exfiltration channels (SMTP, Telegram, web panel, FTP). The analysis provides sample hashes, code/resource extraction behavior, observed IoCs, and defensive recommendations.
