Job-test malware campaign shifts to public JSON dropboxes

🔎 The Contagious Interview campaign is delivering trojanized coding tests that fetch heavily obfuscated JavaScript from public JSON-storage services such as JSON Keeper, JSONSilo, and npoint.io. When executed in a Node.js test run the payloads decode and install the BeaverTail infostealer and then stage the InvisibleFerret RAT. NVISO Labs warns attackers are abusing developer trust and legitimate platforms and recommends sandboxing, auditing config files, and blocking suspicious outbound requests.

Merged BeaverTail and OtterCookie Tooling Observed in Attacks

🔍 Talos uncovered a campaign linked to the DPRK-aligned cluster Famous Chollima that used a trojanized Node.js package and a malicious VS Code extension to deliver merged BeaverTail and OtterCookie tooling. The combined JavaScript payloads include a newly observed keylogger and screenshot module alongside clipboard theft, targeted file exfiltration, remote shell access, and cryptocurrency extension stealing. Indicators, C2 addresses, Snort/ClamAV detections, and mitigation guidance are provided.
