The botnet was also used in a malspam campaign, where freight invoice-themed emails with ZIP file attachments delivered malware via PowerShell scripts, establishing connections to a command-and-control server. Additionally, the attackers took advantage of misconfigured Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records in around 20,000 domains, using overly permissive &#8220;+all&#8221; settings to spoof email addresses and bypass security measures.

It spreads through fake CAPTCHA pages, torrents, and phishing emails. Regular updates have enhanced its capabilities, making it a persistent threat.<\/li><li><strong>XWorm<\/strong>: Emerging in July 2022, XWorm grants attackers remote control over infected systems. It can capture keystrokes, webcam images, audio, and clipboard data, posing risks to financial and personal information. In 2024, it was linked to large-scale attacks exploiting CloudFlare tunnels and legitimate digital certificates.<\/li><li><strong>LockBit Ransomware<\/strong>: Primarily targeting Windows devices, LockBit has become a major ransomware threat, accounting for a substantial portion of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) attacks. In 2024, it compromised high-profile organizations, including the UK&#8217;s Royal Mail and India&#8217;s National Aerospace Laboratories.<\/li><li><strong>Remcos<\/strong>: Distributed via phishing emails with malicious attachments, Remcos allows attackers to execute commands, access files, and monitor user activities. It often uses password-protected .zip files to evade detection.<\/li><li><strong>PlugX<\/strong>: A malware variant that the FBI recently removed from over 4,250 infected computers.
