Minecraft gamers are being targeted by the LofyStealer infostealer, which
disguises itself as a popular game cheat tool called “Slinky” using the official Minecraft icon to trick users into downloading it.
The malware employs a two-stage attack with a Node.js loader and in-memory injection into major browsers like Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera GX, and Firefox to silently steal cookies, passwords, payment details, session tokens, and IBANs.
Linked to the Brazilian LofyGang, it operates as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) and uses advanced techniques to bypass security tools.
Users should avoid unofficial Minecraft mods or cheats and enable multi-factor authentication for protection.
