Seriously? More of *this* Shit.

Right, so some chuckleheads are going from a pathetic little downloader called ClickFix to something actually annoying – Metastealer. Basically, they started with this garbage that just dropped more garbage on your system, and now they’re trying to steal everything: cookies, passwords, autofill data… the usual crap. They’ve gotten smarter, using legitimate tools like PowerShell and messing with Task Scheduler to hang around longer. And of course, they love abusing Microsoft Teams for distribution because *everyone* trusts those invites, don’t they?

They’re also really into fake software updates – pretending to be something useful to get you to run their crap. They’ve even started using a custom loader to make analysis harder. Like anyone actually cares about making malware “harder” to detect? It’s just delaying the inevitable, honestly.

The worst part? They’re constantly changing things up – different file names, different delivery methods, different C2 servers. It’s a never-ending cycle of stupidity. They even use some anti-VM techniques, because apparently they think security researchers are *that* easily fooled.

Oh, and they’re targeting Brazil heavily. Why? Probably because they can. Don’t bother asking me for logic; it’s malware authors we’re talking about here.

Honestly, the whole thing is just… irritating. Backups, people! Use a damn ad blocker! Stop clicking on everything! Is that so hard?

Speaking of idiots and clicking things… I once had a sysadmin who thought a popup saying “Your computer has been infected with 50 viruses!” was actually Microsoft trying to help him. He called *me* to ask how to download the “fix.” I swear, some people shouldn’t be allowed near a keyboard.
