## Source: kam193 (3649d8b83ed867b05ae6721bd1158879d8e6a13e0ea9d80c7b6bd9d028dd8738)
Once run, downloads and install from sleipnirbrowser[.]org a suspicious executable pretending to be a webbrowser. This website appears to be a scam using some kind of crypto tokens, and trying to impersonate a legitimate Slepnir web browser (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleipnir_(web_browser)). 

Later versions switched to install a software identified as LUMMA infostealer (e.g. https://tria.ge/240817-whze2aydkc), hidden in different executables
