FAKE Gambling Cheat Runs Malware

The "Limbo Casino Predictor Strategies" GitHub repository is a phishing campaign disguised as a gambling tool, exploiting Visual Studio's deserialization vulnerability in .suo files to execute arbitrary code when a .sln project is opened 0:50.

Key Takeaways:
• The repository uses fake gambling content and misleading developer animations to lure users into opening malicious .sln files 0:50.
• Malware triggers upon opening the .sln file, exploiting Visual Studio’s Suo deserialization vulnerability to run a PowerShell payload 9:20.
• The payload downloads from domains like httpsmukdeveloper.com and uses social media (YouTube, Instagram, Telegram) to host encrypted payloads, with "last W" as the decryption key 25:51.
• It stages a download of a seven-zip archive containing a malicious Electron app disguised as the Exodus wallet 39:18.
• Multiple GitHub users (e.g., Mirrorhanger, W312) are linked to the same attack chain, indicating a coordinated, ongoing campaign 34:00.

This malware has been active since at least March 2025, leveraging a consistent attack pattern across multiple repositories and platforms.
