Hot Take:

Looks like XWorm has taken the phrase “invoice me later” a bit too seriously, turning your computer into its personal piggy bank using fake documents. Who knew that opening an email from the mysterious Brezo Sánchez would lead to a digital robbery? Maybe it’s time to call Sherlock Holmes, or better yet, Watson’s digital cousin, to solve this cyber whodunit.

Key Points:

  • XWorm RAT is spreading through fake invoice emails with .xlam attachments.
  • The attack chain involves encrypted shellcode and reflective DLL injection.
  • XWorm can take full remote control of infected systems.
  • It connects to a C2 server to send stolen data to attackers.
  • Previous XWorm campaigns have compromised thousands of devices globally.
