The developer of the WeSteal cryptocurrency stealer can’t be bothered with fancy talk: they say flat-out that it’s “the leading way to make money in 2021”.
Some cybercriminals try, at least, to cover their dirty work with a threadbare “this will throw off the lawsuits” blanket of legitimacy. For example, phone-tracking tools that silently install and operate and which are supposedly meant for parents to (legally) watch out for their kids (in actuality, stalkerware), ransomware gangs that blab rationalizations about “helping” by spotting zero days before their victims do, or the other coverups used to hawk anti-malware evasion tools, cryptocurrency miners, password crackers or webcam-light disablers.
