New malware waits until you watch porn, then secretly films via webcam

But now there's a real threat. A new malware called Stealerium apparently knows when you're viewing pornographic material in your browser and automatically takes snapshots of what you're viewing and webcam photos of you in that moment. The malware then sends those recordings to cybercriminals who use them for blackmail.

Security researchers at Proofpoint have analyzed the malware and warn of a new escalation level in these so-called "sextortion attacks."

How Stealerium gets onto your PC The Stealerium malware is spread via phishing emails that look deceptively genuine. The attackers disguise their emails as messages from reputable organizations (e.g., banks, streaming services, charities) and encourage recipients to open attachments or click on links.

When you open said emails, the hope is you're so alarmed that you've let down your guard, making it more likely that you'll download attachments and/or click malicious links and buttons.

What makes Stealerium even more worrying is that its source code has been freely available
