This article outlines the infostealer ecosystem: how cheaply and easily threat actors can obtain credentials and access via droppers, crypters, traffer teams, log clouds, automated marketplaces (e.g., Russian Market), and initial access brokers. It lists common infostealer families, describes roles and monetization methods across the criminal supply chain, and cites large-scale metrics (≈45.8M infected devices, ≈553M URL/username/password combos) to emphasize the scope and operational impact of these commodity malware operations.
