The group poses as recruiters or developers, luring targets into executing malicious code under the guise of technical interviews. The attackers claim to be from crypto or tech companies, asking job seekers to review code, clone repositories, or complete programming tasks. Security researchers have identified 20 victim organizations across regions such as South Asia and North America. The group uses multiple aliases and disguises itself with fake identities from Odessa, Ukraine. The attacks involve remote access trojans like PylangGhost and GolangGhost, which can automatically steal browser credentials and cookies.
