A new "invisible" Xeno Executor is actually a highly capable RAT and a potent infostealer -- Cybercriminals are targeting Roblox
players with an infostealer and a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) malware that grants them full control over compromised computers, experts have warned.

Roblox is an online gaming platform, virtual universe, and game creation system where users play millions of games and user-generated mods. Among the mods is Xeno Executor, a utility that allows players to run scripts that automate certain actions or run custom code. Some players use Xeno Executor
to run cheats, too. Since its an unofficial script, Roblox does not allow it and blocks it whenever a new version is released. Now, security researchers Bitdefender have reported finding an undetected version being promoted on various gaming forums, Discord communities, and similar. This version is advertised as invisible to Robloxs anti-cheat systems, but in reality, all it does is trigger an infection chain that ends in a Java-based RAT and information stealer.

The malware grabs browser data such as passwords and cookies from some of the most popular browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi), as well as
online accounts and payment data (Discord, Roblox, Minecraft , Microsoft
Store tokens, and more).

It also steals cryptocurrency wallet data, particularly targeting the Exodus Wallet.

As for surveillance, it can log keys, track mouse movements, grab
screenshots, stream whatever is on the desktop, and access the webcam. The crooks are also granted file upload and download, PowerShell command execution, and more.

The campaign was kicked off at the start of the year, reaching its peak in March, it was said. It has now stabilized and is still going relatively strong.

We dont know exactly how many players fell victim to this campaign, but
Roblox is an incredibly popular platform, so it is possible the campaign was rather successful, too.

According to Activeplayer , Roblox currently has more than 82 million active players.
