Infostealers infect indiscriminately — but some organizations are far more likely to be affected than others. This has less to do with industry and more with how access is managed and where weak points exist.

Organizations are at higher risk if they:

• Rely on browser-stored credentials or session-based authentication (e.g. cookies, tokens)

• Allow remote work or bring-your-own-device (BYOD) setups without tight control

• Let employees log in from unmanaged or personal devices

• Operate internationally, especially with contractors or regional teams lacking endpoint controls

• Lack visibility into leaked credentials or active session exposure

In real-world infections, the most impacted groups include:

• IT administrators and developers — who often have credentials to infrastructure, source code, or privileged internal tools

• SaaS and managed service providers — whose single login may provide access to multiple clients or tenants, making their compromise highly leveraged

• Remote-first teams and SMEs — where central IT governance is limited and browser-based workflows are dominant

• Sectors with distributed and decentralized access — such as healthcare, education, and nonprofits, which often use shared devices or lack full endpoint enforcement

Infostealer risk isn’t about who you are — it’s about how your access is structured, how broadly it is distributed, and how easily it can be stolen and reused.
