Source: kam193 (5b87af8d8f13bd43c1cf3490ea551b8d60fe05a482875597ef2fe5d2c200ca19)

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

  • A Telegram webhook is used to send collected data.

  • exfiltration-credentials
