When calling the Email function, the code creates a backdoor script and attempts to achieve persistence. The script connects to a Telegram bot and awaits commands to execute.

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

Campaign: 2026-06-old-randpicker

Reasons (based on the campaign):
