Olymp Loader

Olymp Loader is a Malware-as-a-Service / Loader-as-a-Service offering first observed in June 2025 and advertised on underground forums and Telegram by the operator using the alias "OLYMPO." It was initially presented as an "Olymp Botnet" with a web panel, then pivoted in August 2025 to a loader-focused service and later added crypter functionality. The malware is marketed as fully written in assembly language and as "FUD," with emphasis on evading machine-learning and heuristic detection.

Advertised and observed capabilities include loading 32-bit, 64-bit, .NET, Java, and native payloads; persistence via auto-run behavior and Startup-folder shortcuts; privilege escalation via an aggressive UAC-flood technique; Windows Defender exclusion and, in some variants, Defender disablement/removal; XOR-encrypted modules and payloads; code signing; and LoadPE/code-cave style injection into legitimate programs. Early versions also included built-in stealer modules targeting browsers, Telegram, and cryptocurrency wallets. Reported wallet targets include Exodus, Electrum, Atomic, Guarda, Wasabi, Monero, BitcoinCore, and ZelCore. The browser stealer was reported as based on BrowserSnatch, and Telegram/stealer components used embedded proxy URLs for exfiltration, including reporting tied to IP 144.172.97.30 and binaries containing a PROXY marker.

Observed delivery and infection vectors include GitHub Releases assets, notably under PurpleOrchid65/Testing, and binaries masquerading as legitimate software such as Node.js, PuTTY, OpenSSL, Zoom, and the Classic Offensive Counter-Strike mod. Reported lure URLs include fastdownloads[.]live/dl/putty.exe, jjf[.]life/OpenSSL/build.exe, jjf[.]life/OpenSSL/ZoomClientSetup.exe, and classic-offensive[.]com/Installer.zip. Outpost24 also observed Olymp Loader executed with Amadey as the parent process, indicating use as a second-stage payload in some infections.

Post-infection payloads observed in the wild were predominantly commodity stealers and RATs, especially LummaC2, WebRAT/SalatStealer, QasarRAT, and Raccoon. One report cited sample proportions of LummaC2 at 46%, WebRAT/SalatStealer at 31%, QasarRAT at 15%, and Raccoon at 8%.

Olymp Loader is associated with cybercrime commercialization rather than a specific state actor. It has been promoted across forums including Hackforums, BHF, Lolz Guru, XSS, DarkForums, Niflheim, and Cardforum[.]cc, with Telegram accounts/channels including @OlympService_Support and previously @OlympLoader and @OlympLoader_Support. The project is notable for rapid iteration, modular design, and lowering the barrier for low- and mid-tier cybercriminals to deliver stealers and RATs.

Olymp Loader: Emerging Malware-as-a-Service Threat in 2025

Olymp Loader is a Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform that acts as a loader for other malware, a crypter with anti-analysis and anti-detection features, and includes stealer modules for browsers, Telegram, and cryptocurrency wallets. It is marketed as being written entirely in assembly for evasion and is advertised as Fully UnDetectable (FUD). It has evolved from a botnet to a dropper/loader with embedded, encrypted payloads and is used to deliver credential stealers and RATs.
