What is ACRStealer?
ACRStealer is an **info stealer malware** designed to **extract sensitive information** from infected systems, including:
– **Antivirus identification** – determining which security solutions are present to evade detection.
– **Crypto wallet theft** – targeting stored cryptocurrency assets.
– **Login credentials theft** – stealing usernames and passwords for financial services, corporate accounts, and personal data.
– **Browser information extraction** – harvesting stored passwords, cookies, and browsing history.
– **File Transfer Protocol (FTP) credential theft** – compromising access to cloud and remote servers.

Over-the-Air (OTA) attacks are a category of cyberattacks that exploit wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC (Near Field Communication), and cellular networks. These attacks can intercept, eavesdrop, or alter data transmitted over these channels, often without the victim’s knowledge.
### **Key Characteristics of OTA Attacks**
1. **Remote Exploitation**: Attackers can operate from a distance, eliminating the need for physical access to the device.
2. **Wide Attack Surface**: The ubiquity of wireless devices in enterprises expands the potential entry points for attackers.
3. **Stealthy Execution**: Many OTA attacks are designed to be undetectable, operating silently in the background.
