A threat actor has successfully targeted low-skilled hackers, often referred to as ‘script kiddies,’ by distributing a fake malware builder. The builder is not what they expected, instead it secretly infects the user’s systems with a backdoor. This sophisticated method allowed the attacker to compromise over 18,000 devices, highlighting a serious issue in the threat landscape. This indicates that even low skilled attackers can be targets and may unknowingly become victims.
