A Telegram channel called Mystic Stealer News is maintained by the project, serving as a platform for sharing development updates, discussing feature requests, and engaging in related discussions. According to reports, the creator of this malware actively seeks feedback from experienced members of the underground hacking community and openly encourages them to share suggestions for enhancing Mystic.
The software has been actively developed, with version 1.2 released in May following the initial release of version 1.0 in April.
