Hot Take:

When cybercriminals start using a software suite named Blender to cook up their malware smoothies, you know the digital world is getting spicy! Blender files, akin to your grandma’s secret cookie recipe, should be cherished, but definitely not trusted unless you’re sure they don’t contain a surprise ingredient like StealC V2 malware. Consider them as potential Trojan horses—except these aren’t filled with Greeks, just sneaky lines of code ready to raid your data pantry.

Key Points:

– Malware campaign uses Blender files to distribute the StealC V2 information stealer.
– Malicious files target 3D model marketplaces like CGTrader.
– StealC V2 can steal data from browsers, cryptocurrency wallets, and various apps.
– The malware remains elusive to many antivirus programs, staying undetected on VirusTotal.
– Caution is advised for Blender users; disable ‘Auto Run Python Scripts’ for safety.
