2026-07-20 - AI slop malware tries to deliver ScreenConnect

I got a DM. Is this malware? We got this sus af document link thingy.

The domain is impersonating Adobe.

https://q3kk0q2.es/adobe/

Obviously Adobe, a major company, hosts their products on ... q3kk0q2 (???). Anyway, you can tell this is a poor attempt at tricking people.

If you view the website it's hidden behind CloudFlare (as is tradition), and surprisingly the website is in DDoS protection mode. Silly.

Here is the website when you view it:

Then upon "loading" it tells you to download the super important document "NSM_Project_Management_2026.pdf".

When you click "download" is delivers "Adobe_Acrobat_Reader.vbs".

Ahhh, yes, of course, of course. Adobe, the famous and large company, delivers its products as Visual Basic Script (it doesn't).

If you right-click and inspect the file in Notepad you'll see it's a totally normal file (it's not). It is a malware stager.

As you can see, this is a very silly and totally not malware (it's malware).

We will whip up a silly Python script to decode it.

When we decode it we find ... AI SLOP. The decoded malware payload contains notes... Look at this piece of shit

It's an AI slop VB script that downloads and installs ScreenConnect to give the person remote access to the computer. The Threat Actors left notes in the secondary stager... like... "Run the installer" or ... "ADD ANTIVIRUS EXCLUSION FOR THE FOLDER".

This is unbelievably lame.
