LokiBot, an extensively distributed trojan, focuses on extracting credentials and other sensitive information from Windows and Android devices. It transmits the acquired data to remote servers controlled by the attacker. Additionally, LokiBot operates as a keylogger, enabling attackers to establish backdoor access and deploy other malware, often ransomware, on the compromised device. Authentic and cracked versions of the LokiBot malware are available for purchase on dark web marketplaces.
LokiBot, also known as Lokibot, Loki-bot, Loki Android Trojan, and Loki Password Stealer, is a widespread trojan with the primary objective of pilfering credentials and providing attackers with backdoor access to both Windows and Android devices. This malicious software poses a significant threat by stealing sensitive information, including login credentials and crypto wallet funds, conducting data theft, opening backdoors for other malware such as ransomware, and displaying malicious ads.
LokiBot operates as a keylogger, facilitating the extraction of credentials, and establishes backdoor access, enabling attackers to deploy additional malware on compromised devices. Authentic and cracked versions of LokiBot are available for purchase on dark web marketplaces, contributing to its extensive distribution.
The symptoms of LokiBot infection include unusual system behavior, such as unexpected pop-ups or system slowdowns, anomalous network activity with increased data traffic to unfamiliar destinations, unauthorized access or changes to sensitive files and data, and the presence of unfamiliar or suspicious processes in the system's task manager.
LokiBot primarily spreads through phishing attacks via email, social engineering, or malicious websites, leading to unintentional installations. It may also exploit vulnerabilities in compromised software or applications, use malicious attachments or links in emails and messages, and take advantage of drive-by downloads from compromised or malicious websites.
If you suspect your system is infected with LokiBot, immediate action is crucial. Isolate the infected device from the network, run a thorough antivirus scan using Gridinsoft Anti-Malware, change all passwords, especially for sensitive accounts, monitor financial transactions for unauthorized activities, and consider seeking professional assistance for complete malware removal.
To prevent LokiBot infections, adopt proactive measures such as keeping operating systems and software up-to-date, using Gridinsoft Anti-Malware for regular scans, avoiding downloads from untrusted sources, exercising caution with links and email attachments, implementing strong, unique passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, regularly backing up important data, and monitoring network traffic with intrusion detection systems.
