“The malware installer has been used in a variety of recent campaigns to deliver information stealers, RATs, and even LockBit ransomware,” said researchers at Morphisec, a security solution provider.
The new Babadeda malware installer works by encrypting malicious codes, making them harder to detect, which is why it is also called a “crypter.”
Aside from this, it can also obfuscate and manipulate these codes. Morphisec experts added that hackers use this new tool to send decoy messages to their targeted Discord channels.
