Pirated content fake player update to SilentCryptoMiner fork, RAT C2 and miner config infrastructure
unknown
IIM chain for Kaspersky Securelist research published on 2026-05-28. The campaign distributes a miner/RAT stack via illegal streaming and digital-library sites using a fake video-player plugin update. The public chain models the confirmed delivery path: pirated-content lure, ZIP download from urush1bar4.online, HLS Installer.874.exe plus malicious DLL side-loading, decrypted main module based on a modified SilentCryptoMiner fork, injected RAT/watchdog/miner components, date-derived RAT C2 domains, weekly miner configuration retrieval domains resolving to 107.172.212.235, and UnamWebPanel control-panel addresses. Host execution details such as ROP, reflective loading, Defender exclusions, UAC prompting, and process injection are retained as evidence/context but are not over-modeled as IIM infrastructure techniques.
