Chasing Eddies: New Rust-based InfoStealer used in CAPTCHA campaigns

Elastic Security Labs documented EDDIESTEALER, a lightweight infostealer written in Rust that is being deployed through CAPTCHA-based campaigns. The malware is distributed as a commodity tool in emerging attack chains.

Why it matters: Practitioners should monitor for EDDIESTEALER distribution campaigns and understand the CAPTCHA-based delivery mechanism as a vector for credential theft and system compromise.
