Taurus Stealer

VTCollection    

According to Zscaler, Taurus is a stealer that surfaced in June 2020. It is being developed by the author(s) that previously created Predator the Thief. The name overlaps partly with the StealerOne / Terra* family (also aliased Taurus Loader) but appears to be a completely disjunct project.
