"Fake Malware Targets Cybercriminal Wannabes"

HP Wolf Security has found fake malware designed to lure would-be cybercriminals into compromising their own devices. The cybersecurity company came across the operation during a routine examination of the web's dark corners for its third quarter report. It exposed the attackers who were hosting fake Remote Access Trojans (RATs) on GitHub in an attempt to trick inexperienced cybercriminals into infecting their own computers. HP Wolf Security added that the code repositories claim to have full versions of a popular malware kit called XWorm, which costs up to $500, but instead, downloads and executes malware on the hacker's computer. This article continues to discuss the fake malware targeting cybercriminals.
