Blank Grabber

Blank Grabber is an information-stealing trojan/infostealer. The provided content states that it targets passwords, cookies, and autofill data from Chromium-based browsers; steals complete Discord and Telegram sessions; and steals seed phrases/private keys from more than 20 cryptocurrency wallets, with MetaMask, Exodus, and Electrum explicitly named. The content associates Blank Grabber with Lazarus Group / APT-C-26 activity. In the reported campaign, Lazarus distributed a malicious RAR archive, including lures such as "Pharos.rar" / "Pharos-Automation-Bot," exploiting the WinRAR path traversal vulnerability CVE-2025-8088 (described as an ADS path validation flaw enabling arbitrary file creation). Exploitation created a malicious BAT file in the Windows Startup folder for execution and persistence, which then downloaded and executed an obfuscated Python loader that deployed Blank Grabber. The campaign reportedly used Dropbox and Pastebin for payload staging and Telegram for command-and-control and/or exfiltration. The content specifically notes targeting of browser credentials and session data, Telegram/Discord data, and wallet secrets.
