    Armored Likho deploys BusySnake Stealer against Windows systems

    Initial Disclosure

    Kaspersky attributed Armored Likho to a campaign against government agencies and the electric power sector across Russia, Brazil, and Kazakhstan that uses BusySnake Stealer on Windows systems. The delivery chain relies on spear-phishing emails with official-notice and social-program lures, RAR archives, EXE droppers, GitHub-hosted payloads, VBScript files, and scheduled tasks, and the stealer can collect browser cookies, passwords, Telegram session and credential data, documents, screenshots, clipboard contents, wallet files, and keystroke data while also supporting Go2Tunnel reverse SSH tunneling and RustDesk execution.
