Verdict:	Malicious activity
Threats:	First identified in March 2021, PureCrypter is a .NET-based loader that employs obfuscation techniques, such as SmartAssembly, to evade detection. It has been used to distribute malware families including AgentTesla, RedLine Stealer, and SnakeKeylogger. The malware is typically delivered through phishing campaigns and malicious downloads, often masquerading as legitimate files with extensions like .mp4 or .pdf. PureCrypter utilizes encryption and compression to conceal its payloads and can inject malicious code into legitimate processes to maintain persistence on the infected system. XWorm is a remote access trojan (RAT) sold as a malware-as-a-service. It possesses an extensive hacking toolset and is capable of gathering private information and files from the infected computer, hijacking MetaMask and Telegram accounts, and tracking user activity. XWorm is typically delivered to victims' computers through multi-stage attacks that start with phishing emails. XWorm ist ein Remote Access Trojaner (RAT), der als Malware-as-a-Service verkauft wird. Er verfügt über ein umfangreiches Hacking-Toolset und ist in der Lage, private Informationen und Dateien auf dem infizierten Computer zu sammeln, MetaMask- und Telegram-Konten zu kapern und Benutzeraktivitäten zu verfolgen. XWorm wird in der Regel durch mehrstufige Angriffe auf die Computer der Opfer übertragen, die mit Phishing-E-Mails beginnen. Malware Trends Tracker >>>
