XWorm 6.0 Returns with 35+ Plugins and Enhanced Theft

🛡️ Trellix researchers detail the return of XWorm 6.0, a modular Windows malware now supporting more than 35 in‑memory DLL plugins and expanded data-theft and persistence capabilities. The actor associated with earlier releases, known as XCoder, is of uncertain status, but v6.0—advertised on forums in June 2025—appears to address a prior RCE flaw while enabling credential theft, keylogging, screen capture, and optional ransomware. Campaigns use phishing, malicious JavaScript, LNK-based PowerShell chains, and process injection to evade detection and execute plugins directly in memory.
