A $1,000-a-month tool claims to keep access to hacked Gmail inboxes

A $1,000-a-month tool claims to keep access to hacked Gmail inboxes

A tool called Remus Stealer is advertised as giving hackers continued access to Gmail inboxes for $1,000 a month.

Hudson Rock, a cybersecurity firm, says the tool can keep working after a password change, browser closure or session revocation.

The inbox must already be compromised, and the tool is marketed to enterprise customers, so organizations and high-profile people may be particular targets.

The claimed access could expose password-reset links and verification codes, putting other accounts at risk too.

The tool’s developer says it interacts with browser memory, but has not explained how it keeps access after passwords or sessions change.

Hudson Rock recommends cleaning an infected computer before using trusted accounts, then changing passwords from a clean device and reviewing account access and settings.

Google may add protections if the tool works as claimed, but no response from the company is included.
