The report describes a fake antivirus (fake AV) campaign that serves malicious executables via landing pages: older samples use a simple HTML page that loads external JavaScript, while newer variants embed base64-obfuscated inline JavaScript; many samples were hosted on subdomains (notably xorg.pl) and exhibited very low VirusTotal detection (as few as 2–6 vendors), indicating active distribution and evasion attempts.
