Hackers Use Fake VPN and Browser Installers to Spread Winos 4.0 Malware
A campaign using trojanized NSIS installers (masquerading as QQ Browser and LetsVPN) delivers the Winos 4.0 (ValleyRAT) malware via a memory-resident loader called Catena. The malware, linked to Silver Fox APT, evades detection using reflective DLL injection and targets Chinese-speaking users, with C2 servers hosted in Hong Kong.
Impact: Remote access, data theft, and DDoS capabilities.
Mitigation: Verify installer authenticity, monitor for unsigned processes, and block suspicious C2 IPs (e.g., 134.122.204.11, 103.46.185.44).
