Chrome users beware: This malware steals your Google login info by locking you out of your system

A new Google Chrome malware is reportedly locking users out of their system and preventing access to other apps. Dubbed ‘StealC’, the malware uses a new technique called “AutoIt Credential Flusher” that forces victims to enter their Google account credentials to use other apps.

Discovered by researchers at OALABS, the technique has been used in the wild since August 22 this year by traditional malware loaders and info stealing tools like Amadey.
