| Description | (BleepingComputer) The links redirect victims to malicious web resources that employ JavaScript to drop a Windows shortcut file (LNK) that launches PowerShell commands to trigger an infection chain for a new Python malware downloader called 'MASEPIE.' MASEPIE establishes persistence on the infected device by modifying the Windows Registry and adding a deceptively named LNK file ('SystemUpdate.lnk') to the Windows Startup folder. | |
