Hot Take:

Well, well, well, if it isn't our old friend DarkGate, swinging into the cybercrime scene like a malware-infested Spider-Man. This time, these digital delinquents are wiggling through the cracks of a now-patched Windows Defender SmartScreen flaw. It's like they found the secret backdoor to the club and now they're throwing their own nefarious party with fake software installers as party favors.
