CAPEC-648

Collect Data from Screen Capture

TLP:CLEAR

Description

Typical severity: Medium. Likelihood of attack: Medium. An adversary gathers sensitive information by exploiting the system's screen capture functionality. Through screenshots, the adversary aims to see what happens on the screen over the course of an operation. The adversary can leverage information gathered in order to carry out further attacks.

Mitigation

Identify potentially malicious software that may have functionality to acquire screen captures, and audit and/or block it by using allowlist tools. | While screen capture is a legitimate and practical function, certain situations and context may require the disabling of this feature.
