Quote:The Cerber ransomware has received an update that allows it to collect and steal data from a victim's computer, similar to an infostealer.
According to Gilbert Sison and Janus Agcaoili, two security researchers at Trend Micro, the most recent version of the Cerber ransomware can dump browser passwords and can steal files related to Bitcoin wallets.
Cerber adds infostealer features
