This week's Datapro Newsletter discusses the significant increase in infostealer malware, which covertly steals sensitive data such as passwords and financial details. It highlights a major incident in Australia where 31,000 banking credentials were compromised from customers of the "Big Four" banks through individual device infections, not a central breach. The text explains the threat landscape of these malicious programmes, noting their rapid growth and the shift to new dominant malware families sold as a service. Finally, it outlines how data automation platforms and specific security practices can be used by data engineers to mitigate these risks and enhance enterprise security against such attacks.
