Data theft, Unique and inexpensive services are being discovered and gaining a bit of success that feeds hackers with a hassle-free way to establish a foundation to manage and carry out cybercrime. 

As noted by Bleeping Computer, security researchers have discovered a program named Dark Utilities, which effectively provides a command and control center (C2).

The service helps payloads for Windows, Linux, and Python. It also prevents hackers from starting and establishing the C2 communication channel. For reference, the C2 server is the primary hub for dealing with the sharing of malware.

It also permits threat actors to manage new commands, configurations/payloads, and crucially extract data from already attacked systems.

recovery event and execute the payload on the victim machine.
