Intelligence Summary
A malicious Go module is used to load and execute PowerShell code on Windows systems. The PowerShell stage retrieves a “resolver” from public dead drops. That resolver then directs the malware to continue execution and achieve its goal. The campaign’s infrastructure leverages roughly 200 GitHub repositories to distribute or host components. This makes detection harder because the payloads are spread across many public sources. Organizations should scrutinize unusual Go module usage and PowerShell downloads from public URLs.
Recommended Action
Review affected assets, schedule urgent remediation, and monitor related indicators.
