3.1 - Xworm
Advertisements for the malware on Telegram and GitHub are common, often disguised as legitimate tools. 3. Key Features and Capabilities of XWorm 3.1
Once loaded, XWorm 3.1 spawns a mutex (e.g., XWorm_MUTEX_3_1_random ) to prevent multiple instances. It then initializes the following modules:
Copies itself to the %AppData% directory under a system-mimicking file name like svchost.exe . xworm 3.1
XWorm 3.1 is a testament to the continued evolution of Remote Access Trojans.
