2025-12-29 (Monday): #ClickFix page leads to #NetSupportRAT infection.

Details at www.malware-traffic-analysis.net/2025/12/29/index.html

Of note, this is not from the usual ClickFix campaigns that I track. While #SmartApeSG has often pushed #NetSupport #RAT, this is a completely different vector for the initial URL.

The initial sites.google[.]com URLs for this campaign are sent via email. But I don't have an example for this particular infection chain.

New JS#SMUGGLER malware campaign delivers #NetSupportRAT through compromised websites – hackers get full remote control of Windows machines.

Researchers are tracking a new ClickFix campaign called EVALUSION, delivering Amatera Stealer and NetSupport RAT.

The chain begins with Run-dialog execution during fake CAPTCHA checks, followed by mshta.exe → PowerShell → PureCrypter → DLL injection into MSBuild.exe.

Amatera includes advanced evasion and broad data-harvesting features. NetSupport RAT is deployed only when valuable data is detected.
Related phishing activity involves XWorm, Cephas kits, SmartApeSG, and Tycoon 2FA.

Thoughts on this growing reliance on execution through supposedly “trusted” system tools?
