How do you get infected? Running an exe from the looks of it?

[–] borari 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup, it's a compiled binary that is executed on the victim user's system.

I edited the post to point to the actual report published by Trellis here. It's a malware analysis report so it doesn't go in to the methodology of the initial delivery but there is a little section at the beginning detailing some steps the malware developers took trying to trick users into thinking the "app" was buggy instead of malicious.
