Details

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

Source: kam193 (8fe7614b282cfa81278bc61bde1998e286fe7554c1d37b4c3185718c6e54f6af)

Code downloads and runs the remote executable. While the current link seems not to work, the previous versions had an embedded infostealer instead.

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

Campaign: 2025-05-discord-booster

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • infostealer

  • Downloads and executes a remote executable.
