Arkei Stealer
Also known as: Arkei
Arkei is an older infostealer that served as the basis for the Vidar family. It collected browser data, cookies, and cryptocurrency wallets, and its code lineage continues to influence stealers in circulation today.
What is Arkei Stealer?
Arkei is a foundational infostealer in the modern lineage: Vidar was derived from it, and through Vidar its influence extends to families like RisePro. Studying Arkei helps explain the shared traits seen across many current stealers.
Understanding shared lineage (Arkei → Vidar → others) helps VantaPrism parse related log formats, ensuring families with common ancestry are all handled.
