Exela Stealer is a Windows stealer malware family. The provided content references a SnapAttack-generated attack simulation dataset for a "Windows Exela Stealer Javascript Popup" scenario in a Splunk attack_range environment, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK T1059.007. Separately, the content states that a VirusTotal Enterprise search for behavior related to ApplicationBoundEncryptionEnabled identified a few Exela Stealer samples that appear to attempt disabling Chromium application-bound encryption (ABE) via Windows registry policy. Specifically, this behavior is associated with the policy keys HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ApplicationBoundEncryptionEnabled and HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ApplicationBoundEncryptionEnabled; setting the value to 0 and restarting the browser disables ABE. This suggests Exela Stealer may target Chromium-based browser data such as cookies on Windows by weakening browser protections. No additional high-confidence details about Exela Stealer’s operators, infection vector, targeted industries, or broader capabilities are directly provided in the content.
