Infostealer malware logs used to identify child abuse website members

Thousands of pedophiles who download and share child sexual abuse material (CSAM) were identified through information-stealing malware logs leaked on the dark web, highlighting a new dimension of using stolen credentials in law enforcement investigations.

The novel use of the dataset was conducted by Recorded Future's Insikt Group, who shared a report explaining how they identified 3,324 unique accounts that accessed illegal portals known for distributing CSAM.

By leveraging other data stolen from the target, Insikt analysts could track those accounts to usernames on various platforms, derive their IP addresses, and even system information.

This information gathered by the Insikt Group has been shared with law enforcement to unmask the identities of these individuals and proceed to arrests.
