Cybersecurity Researchers Uncover Phishing Campaign on Social Media Using DLL Sideloading to Spread RAT

Cybersecurity researchers have identified a phishing campaign targeting users through private messages on social media platforms, particularly LinkedIn, to distribute malicious payloads. The attack employs the DLL sideloading technique to deploy a remote access trojan (RAT). The compromised files exploit a legitimate Python script from an open-source penetration testing tool. No specific date or threat actor group is mentioned. The primary objective appears to be gaining remote access to infected systems.
