CPUID hacked to deliver malware via CPU-Z, HWMonitor downloads

Hackers briefly compromised a CPUID side‑API (≈6 hours, Apr 9–10) to swap official download links for CPU‑Z/HWMonitor to a trojanized HWiNFO installer (HWiNFO_Monitor_Setup); the payload is a multi‑stage, in‑memory loader with Inno Setup packaging and EDR/AV evasion techniques, flagged by some AV engines but original signed binaries were reportedly not altered.
