Cybersecurity researchers warn of a malicious campaign using fake landing pages to distribute Oyster malware, impersonating popular Windows tools PuTTY and WinSCP.
The fake landing pages are optimized for SEO and aimed at tricking IT, cybersecurity, and web development professionals into downloading the malware loader.
Oyster is a stealthy malware loader that can deliver additional malicious payloads through techniques like process injection and command-and-control via HTTPS.
IT professionals are advised to be cautious when downloading software, ensuring they use trusted sources and type in addresses directly to avoid falling for such malicious campaigns.
