**Executive summary:** Cyble Research identified a phishing site impersonating CryptoPro distributing a DarkWatchman RAT (CSPSetup.exe) that drops a JavaScript RAT and encrypted keylogger, uses the Windows Registry as a fileless storage buffer to evade detection, establishes persistence via scheduled tasks and regsvr32 wrappers, and exfiltrates keystrokes/clipboard/system data to C2; the report includes technical analysis, MITRE ATT&CK mappings, and IOCs (file hashes, filenames, domains).
