Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: kam193 (588fed6ec45af5cfb8925b1f7d93b07b73d47b919a50305438153dfbb7f953e1)

The malicious code sits in a native module, which is called in a few places, including the code run via PTH embedded since version 1.0.6. The native module downloads an encrypted blob and decrypt it to an executable being an infostealer.


Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Campaign: 2026-07-cfgzen

  • exfiltration-crypto

  • native-extension

  • persistence
