Snow White — Beware the Bad Apple in the Torrent

SUMMARY :

A new malware campaign is targeting users attempting to download the Snow White movie through torrent sites. The attackers exploit a compromised blog to distribute a malicious torrent package disguised as a pirated version of the film. The package contains a fake codec installer that, when executed, deploys sophisticated malware. This malware disables security features, installs the TOR browser, and communicates with a Dark Web C2 server. The campaign revives old social engineering tactics while incorporating modern malware delivery methods and anti-detection techniques. The article provides file hashes and IoCs for detection, emphasizing the ongoing risks associated with pirated content and the importance of updated security measures.
