This kit’s ease of use and advanced features make it a formidable threat, challenging even seasoned cybersecurity defenses.

Looks like Astaroth is the new star on the cybercrime stage, offering a masterclass in how to give two-factor authentication a run for its money. Who knew that phishing could become so ‘phancy’ with real-time interception and session cookie hijacking? It’s almost like cybercriminals have taken a page from the James Bond playbook—minus the suave British accent.
