Raccoon Stealer V2
Also known as: Raccoon V2, RecordBreaker
Raccoon Stealer V2 (also tracked as RecordBreaker) is the rewritten successor to the original Raccoon, built in C/C++ for performance. It relaunched the family after disruption, harvesting browser credentials, cookies, wallets, and files.
What is Raccoon Stealer V2?
After the original Raccoon's operations were disrupted, the family relaunched as Raccoon V2 (tracked by some researchers as RecordBreaker), rewritten for speed and reliability while keeping the same credential-and-wallet theft focus.
Why the relaunch matters
Raccoon V2 is a textbook example of stealer resilience: even high-profile law-enforcement action rarely ends a family permanently, as demand drives rewrites and relaunches.
VantaPrism tracks both original Raccoon and the V2 relaunch, so exposures across the family's lifespan remain searchable and attributable.
