AlienVault OTX Malware

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.

The Discord Invite Hijacking campaign is a sophisticated multi-stage attack leveraging Discord's invite system and content delivery mechanisms to distribute malware aimed at stealing sensitive information. Attackers craft fake Discord invite links, expired invite codes, and vanity URLs to redirect users to malicious Discord servers. The attack chain begins with social engineering tactics that trick victims into authorizing a malicious bot within Discord. Once authorized, this bot facilitates the deployment of two primary malware payloads: AsyncRAT, a remote access trojan capable of extensive system control, and a customized variant of Skuld Stealer, which targets browser credentials, Discord authentication tokens, and cryptocurrency wallets. The campaign employs advanced evasion techniques including time-based payload delivery and encrypted multi-stage loaders hosted on trusted platforms such as GitHub and Bitbucket, which help bypass traditional security controls and maintain persistence on infected systems. The malware leverages techniques such as credential dumping (T1005), process injection (T1055), persistence mechanisms (T1547.001), and command and control communication over standard protocols (T1071.001). The use of wallet injection techniques and targeting of cryptocurrency assets highlights a financial motivation. This campaign does not require exploitation of software vulnerabilities but relies heavily on social engineering and user interaction to initiate the infection chain. No known exploits in the wild have been reported yet, but the campaign’s use of trusted infrastructure and sophisticated evasion tactics make it a credible threat vector for users of Discord and related platforms.
