Official description
Part of the Graphalgo campaign. The module, first published around 2026-08-11, contains a second-stage remote access trojan in plaintext that runs automatically. The RAT collects system information, executes decrypted Go or JavaScript payloads, and polls two command-and-control channels every 3-10 seconds: an Ethereum smart contract used as a dead drop (Arbitrum Sepolia) and a Slack bot token.
