Description
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: kam193 (73303124008a821f9096bc4899d8df4302abc2e0f86822660422f855a1bc65cb) The package hides code downloading script, which then downloads and executes a heavily obfuscated final stage. The remote stages are hosted on a domain presenting a suspicious-looking corporate website. The downloaded code establishes persistence e.g. as "anymeetly-cameradriver" systemd service. The discovered artifacts suggest strongly it acts as an infostealer and RAT. --- Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-09-aitextkit-py Reasons (based on the campaign): - obfuscation - Downloads and executes a remote malicious script. - persistence - infostealer - exfiltration-browser-data - rat - The package contains code to execute remote commands (probably limited to a specific set) on the victim's machine.
