Malware Finances and Operations: a Data-Driven Study of the Value Chain for Infections and Compromised Access
Juha Nurmi, Mikko Niemelä, Billy Bob Brumley · 2023
We investigate the criminal market dynamics of infostealer malware and publish three evidence datasets on malware infections and trade. We justify the value chain between illicit enterprises using the datasets, compare the prices and added value, and use the value chain to identify the most effective countermeasures.
