Elastic Security Labs describes LOBSHOT, a stealthy hVNC-enabled malware distributed via malvertising (fake Google Ads and impersonated installers) that provides hidden remote desktop (hVNC) access, browser/cryptocurrency wallet-stealing functionality, registry-based persistence and C2 beaconing; the report links activity to TA505, documents technical behaviors and detection artefacts (YARA rule, EQL query), lists IOCs and supplies a configuration extractor tool for defenders.
