"Cybercriminals Exploit Free Software Lures to Deploy Hijack Loader and Vidar Stealer"

Threat actors are using free or pirated versions of commercial software as lures to deliver "Hijack Loader," which deploys "Vidar Stealer," an information stealer. According to Trellix security researcher Ale Houspanossian, attackers tricked users into downloading password-protected archive files with trojanized copies of the Cisco Webex Meetings app. When victims extracted and executed a Setup.exe binary file, the Cisco Webex Meetings app secretly installed a malware loader. This loader leads to the launch of an information-stealing module. This article continues to discuss the distribution of Hijack Loader and Vidar Stealer.
