KREMLIN Banking Malware Bypasses Chrome Security to Steal Banking Sessions

Elastic Security Labs details KREMLIN, a Brazilian banking malware that implants malicious Chrome and Edge extensions by forging Chromium integrity values to steal banking sessions.

Elastic Security Labs tracks the KREMLIN banking malware operation as REF9334, active since at least May 2025 across seven campaigns primarily targeting 12 Brazilian banks. The malware is installed by a victim-run JavaScript loader, achieves scheduled-task persistence, and side-loads a malicious DLL via SentinelOne's SentinelMemoryScanner.exe. It modifies Chrome and Edge Secure Preferences files, enables developer mode, and regenerates Chromium MAC values to silently install extensions, while extracting browser encryption material including the newer App-Bound OSCrypt key. An Ethereum smart contract serves as a dead-drop resolver for C2 config; Elastic disrupted over 1,500 infections via a canary domain.

Malicious Twitch Extension Exposes 31,000 Users' OAuth Tokens

Malicious Twitch extension 'Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot' forwarded live OAuth session tokens of roughly 31,000 users to Russian JeetBot proxy servers.

Socket research found the cross-store extension Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot (about 30,000 Chrome users and 552 Firefox users) routing Twitch video requests through JeetBot proxy servers with the account-scoped OAuth bearer token appended in cleartext as a URL query parameter. Version 4.x builds, including 4.8 from January 2026, posted captured tokens to dedicated set-token endpoints on JeetBot infrastructure with backups on two Deno services. Token holders can read and send whispers, post in chat, and spend channel points without a password or 2FA; listings were still live at publication and users are advised to remove the extension and re-authenticate.

Malicious Twitch Browser Extension Leaks OAuth Tokens From Nearly 31,000 Users

Malicious Twitch extension 'Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot' leaked OAuth tokens from nearly 31,000 users to Russian bot-service proxy servers.

Socket researchers found the 'Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot' browser extension forwarded users' live Twitch OAuth tokens as an &auth= query parameter to operator-controlled proxy servers, affecting about 30,000 Chrome users and 604 Firefox users. The tokens, written in cleartext to proxy logs, are bearer credentials granting access to chat, whispers, and account settings without password or 2FA. The operator is a Russian commercial Twitch/Kick/VK-Live bot SaaS linked to Cyprus-based developer Aleksandr Popov; earlier v4.x builds also POSTed tokens to a set-token endpoint. Firefox add-on version 85.8.7 stops the token forwarding, but previously transmitted tokens remain valid until revoked.
