Screen Capturing is a common tool used by insider and malware threats to screenshot or record the screen resulting in data leakage. VDI sessions on unmanaged devices are vulnerable to these types of attacks.
Examples of how screen capture can be used:
Screenshots can capture sensitive information displayed on a user’s screen, including personal data, financial information, passwords, business plans, or proprietary software being used. This information can then be used for fraud, identity theft, or sold on the dark web.
Sometimes, malware aims to capture login credentials that might not be caught by keyloggers, especially if the usernames are filled in using a password manager's auto-fill functionality.
Screenshots can provide a wealth of competitive intelligence or reveal operational details that are valuable to corporate or state sponsored spies.
By taking screenshots, malware can provide context to captured keystrokes, making it easier for attackers to understand the data they've obtained.
Attackers may capture sensitive or personal images on a user's screen to use as leverage for blackmail or extortion schemes which can be damaging to an individual or company’s reputation.
An insider with technical knowledge could use DLL injection to disrupt VDI operations or to bypass security controls such as disabling screen capture blocking or disrupting the means to block screen capture. This could be a deliberate act of sabotage or part of a larger scheme facilitated by malware to obtain company secrets.
