AsyncRAT Delivery via ConnectWise ScreenConnect Abuse

⚠️ Cybersecurity researchers disclosed a campaign that abuses ConnectWise ScreenConnect remote sessions to deliver a fileless loader which ultimately executes the AsyncRAT remote-access trojan. Attackers use hands-on-keyboard activity to run a layered VBScript and PowerShell chain that loads obfuscated .NET assemblies and spawns AsyncClient.exe. Persistence is maintained via a scheduled task disguised as "Skype Updater," and stolen credentials, keystrokes, and wallet artifacts are exfiltrated to a DuckDNS command-and-control host.
