EternityTeam has emerged as a prominent malware seller on Russian-speaking underground forums and Telegram, marketing a modular malware-as-a-service toolkit that includes an infostealer, worm, miner, clipper, botnet/dropper, and ransomware. Researchers said the group has been active since at least 2022 and has paired aggressive advertising with customer support, release notes, and builder-style customization that lets buyers assemble malware binaries from separately sold components, lowering the barrier to entry for less-skilled attackers.
The group's flagship offering, Eternity Stealer, is a .NET infostealer sold on subscription that targets browser data, cryptocurrency wallet information, application credentials, and Growtopia accounts. Observed samples masqueraded as Growtopia-related tools, exfiltrating stolen data over HTTPS to EternityTeam-controlled servers before forwarding it to operators through a Telegram bot. Researchers also reported samples in the wild and noted that parts of the stealer may reuse code from earlier public or criminal projects, but assessed the broader Eternity ecosystem as a credible and scalable threat because of its active distribution, modular design, and ransomware-capable tooling.

7 events from the most recent confirmed update back to the earliest known activity.
Sekoia identified EternityTeam as a new, active, and organized threat group during dark web monitoring in February 2022.
In early February 2022, administrators of several cybercrime forums reportedly verified and approved the Eternity threat group's project, helping legitimize its offerings in underground communities.
Sekoia reported that EternityTeam had been developing and selling multiple malware families since at least January 2022, including stealer, miner, clipper, worm, botnet, and ransomware offerings.
Cyble assessed that the Eternity stealer module showed similarities to Jester Stealer and was likely derived from the DynamicStealer GitHub project, suggesting copied and rebranded code.
Sekoia observed Eternity Stealer samples masquerading as Growtopia-related executables, including "Growtopia Growtoken Glitch 3.82+.exe" and "Growtopia_Hack_3.82.exe."
Cyble researchers discovered the Eternity Project and reported seeing malware samples circulating and being used in the wild, indicating the service was an operational threat rather than a scam.
Threat actors launched the Eternity Project as a modular malware-as-a-service offering sold through Telegram, allowing buyers to assemble customized malware from separately priced modules.

Recorded Future's Insikt Group identified a competitive underground market of at least 24 active malware crypting service providers selling tools that modify malicious payloads to evade antivirus and endpoint defenses. The offerings are marketed across underground forums, restricted communities, messaging platforms, clearnet sites, and social media, with most focused on Windows payloads and advertising bypasses for **Microsoft Defender**, **SmartScreen**, **AMSI**, **ETW**, Chrome warnings, and broader AV/EDR controls. The services go beyond basic packing or encryption and increasingly bundle broader malware-enablement features, including **in-memory execution**, **anti-VM and anti-sandbox checks**, **process injection**, **persistence**, delivery packaging, polymorphic or per-build stubs, and re-crypting after detection. Sellers support formats such as `EXE`, `DLL`, `.NET`, scripts, Office files, PDFs, MSI packages, APKs, and shortcut-based launchers, with pricing ranging from tens of dollars to tens of thousands; while most vendors show no confirmed ties to malware developers, some listings suggest possible links to actors or families including **TrickBot**, **Conti**, **Agent Tesla**, **PureRAT**, and **BianLian**, underscoring how established defense-evasion techniques are being commercialized for wider criminal use.

Multiple reports highlight continued growth in **commercially sold malware**—particularly infostealers and remote-access tooling—lowering the barrier for credential theft and enterprise targeting. Fortinet-described activity shows a **phishing-led Agent Tesla** delivery chain using business-themed lures (e.g., purchase orders), compressed attachments, and obfuscated scripting (e.g., `.jse`) to execute largely **in-memory**, leveraging techniques such as **process hollowing** and anti-analysis to reduce on-disk artifacts and evade endpoint controls while stealing browser, email, and other credentials. Separately, researchers described new or increasingly marketed “as-a-service” tools that expand attacker capability across both Windows and Android. Flashpoint detailed **DarkCloud**, a low-cost infostealer sold via Telegram/clearnet that targets a wide range of browsers and enterprise-adjacent applications (email clients, FTP tools, VPNs), and uses legacy components (e.g., `MSVBVM60.DLL`) to complicate modern detection. Certo reported **Oblivion**, an Android RAT sold via subscription that targets Android 8–16 and emphasizes automated permission bypass and **hidden remote control (HVNC/VNC-like)** functionality alongside SMS/2FA interception and device takeover features. BlackFog reported **Steaelite**, a Windows RAT marketed to enable **double extortion** by combining data theft and ransomware deployment workflows in a single web panel, with HVNC monitoring and an announced Android ransomware module in development. A separate 2025 retrospective from TG Soft’s C.R.A.M. reinforces that **malspam-delivered password stealers** remain prevalent, with **Agent Tesla**, FormBook, and Remcos among the most common families observed in email campaigns.

Researchers reported that **BloodyStealer**, a low-cost information-stealing malware sold on a Russian-speaking underground forum, was being used to harvest browser data, system details, and active sessions from gaming and messaging platforms. The malware specifically targeted services including **Steam, Origin, Epic Games, GOG, Bethesda, Telegram, and VimeWorld**, and used anti-analysis features, victim fingerprinting, command-and-control communications, and ZIP-based data exfiltration to steal data from infected systems. The stolen data fed a broader criminal marketplace where gaming logs, compromised accounts, in-game items, and phishing kits were bought and sold for profit. Researchers said the malware appeared in multistage infection chains alongside threats such as **KeyBase** and **Agent Tesla**, with detections across Europe, Latin America, and APAC, primarily affecting home users as attackers monetized virtual goods, account access, and gaming-related credentials through wholesale and retail underground sales.
