Massive GitHub Malware Campaign Targets Gamers and Software Pirates with Redox Stealer - #Redox
A widespread malware campaign exploiting GitHub repositories to distribute Redox Stealer has been uncovered, targeting gamers, software pirates, and modding enthusiasts. Cybercriminals create fake repositories offering mods or cracks for popular games and software, which contain malware designed to steal sensitive information. The malware collects data from victims' computers and sends it to a Discord server for analysis. Over 1,115 malicious repositories have been identified, with attackers using SEO poisoning, AI-generated content, and obfuscation techniques to evade detection. Despite efforts to report these repositories, the continuous creation of new ones poses a significant challenge for GitHub's automated defenses.
