Details

Source: kam193 (9f83d01100c725673d7685ad3e206d71bb2f18d371a452cd2927d1391ec02cf4)

Package silently exfiltrates user's credentials ahead of starting the promised functionality. First batch used simple code, the newer attempt to hide functionality by using compiled modules

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

Campaign: 2025-07-prof-quotex

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • action-hidden-in-lib-usage

  • A Telegram webhook is used to send collected data.

  • exfiltration-credentials
