2025-10-10 (Friday): Was looking for Koi Loader/Koi Stealer, and I found this #WebDAV server that hosted malicious Windows shortcut (#LNK) files.
Not sure what type of #malware this is, but it's not Koi Stealer.

Last DEATHCon, we noticed that some people wanted an Intel CPU to run Windows VMs but only had Apple silicon, or they didn't have enough disk space to run VMs for workshops, so next year we're going to try making some dedicated mini computers available for people to use remotely over Tailscale!
