Cybercriminals are exploiting Discord's invite system and content delivery features to distribute malware and steal sensitive data. They use fake invite links, expired codes, and vanity URLs to redirect users to malicious servers. The attack chain involves a sophisticated combination of social engineering, multi-stage loaders, and time-based evasion tactics. Victims are tricked into authorizing a fake bot, which leads to the deployment of AsyncRAT and a customized Skuld Stealer. These malware variants target browser credentials, Discord tokens, and cryptocurrency wallets. The campaign uses trusted platforms like GitHub and Bitbucket to host encrypted payloads, and employs advanced techniques to bypass security measures and maintain persistence.

Check Point Research uncovered a malware campaign exploiting expired Discord invite links to redirect users to malicious servers. The attackers use a combination of techniques including ClickFix phishing, multi-stage loaders, and time-based evasions to deliver AsyncRAT and a customized Skuld Stealer targeting crypto wallets. The campaign leverages trusted cloud services for payload delivery and data exfiltration to avoid detection. The operation continues to evolve, with threat actors now able to bypass Chrome's App Bound Encryption using adapted tools like ChromeKatz to steal cookies from new Chromium browser versions. The campaign highlights how subtle features in Discord's invite system can be exploited as attack vectors.
