Amatera: How the prolific infostealer works and spreads
Amatera was the leading infostealer in ESET's Latin American detections during the first half of 2026, reflecting professionalization in the cybercrime ecosystem. The malware demonstrates how modern credential-stealing threats have evolved into organized operations with sophisticated distribution and functionality.
Why it matters: Organizations in Latin America and globally face heightened infostealer risk as criminal groups mature their tactics; practitioners should assess detection capabilities for Amatera and similar families that prioritize credential theft at scale.
