FortiGuard Labs recently detected a series of LNK files targeting users in South Korea. These attacks use a multi-stage scripting process and leverage GitHub as Command and Control (C2) infrastructure to evade detection. Although these LNK files can be traced back to 2024, earlier versions had less obfuscation and contained significant metadata, allowing us to track similar attacks spreading the XenoRAT malware.
