Google warns about Remus Stealer, malware targeting Gmail inboxes
A new malware called Remus Stealer is being promoted on forums as a tool to access other people's Gmail inboxes from a control panel, according to cybersecurity firm Hudson Rock. Its developers claim access persists even if the victim changes their Google password or closes the browser, and they offer the service for $1,000 a month. Google recommends changing passwords and revoking unrecognized active sessions; researchers have not independently verified that access continues once an account is secured.
