Threat Score
The CPUID website (distributing CPU-Z and HWMonitor) appears to have been compromised and served trojanized installers since early April 2026; these installers allegedly drop cryptbase.dll, employ DLL-hijacking and in-memory execution to evade AV, and phone home to attacker infrastructure, prompting site removals, community alerts, and recommendations to stop downloading from cpuid.com and to scan for indicators.
