: Screenshots of your desktop and lists of installed hardware. Indicators of Compromise (IoCs)
: Inside the archive is usually an executable ( .exe ) or a script ( .bat , .js , or .vbs ). Once a user manually extracts and runs this file, the infection begins.
: The malware typically performs "information stealing," which includes:
: This invalidates any session tokens the attacker may have stolen.
: Allowing attackers to bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) by hijacking active login sessions.
: Notifications from Windows Defender or your AV regarding "Trojan:Win32/Stealer" or "Injection" attempts.
: If you executed the file, assume your browser-stored passwords are compromised. Change them from a different, "clean" device.
: The archive is almost always password-protected (often with a simple password like 1234 provided in the post). This is a tactic to encrypt the payload , preventing antivirus software from scanning the contents while the file is sitting on your hard drive.
