**Affected versions:** `= 0.1.2`

## Source: kam193 (117c24f5b7a0f5e4921e4478231a717ecca01748a5b266d8984e619f06173984)
Running the installed entry point downloads and executes remote code. During the analysis, the code was switching to websockets, adding a startup script and downloading next stages, which finally looked for browser and crypto wallet data. Currently, they seem not to attempt exfiltration of very sensitive data but rather a presence of different webbrowsers and wallets.

It uses the same remote domain as campaign 2025-07-db-indicator, but significantly different payload.
