Late-July campaigns used the ErrTraffic malware-as-a-service platform and ClickFix social engineering to lure victims from compromised WordPress sites into running malicious PowerShell copied to their clipboard. The infection chain fetched fake verification pages, resolved command-and-control through Polygon smart contracts, and used DLL side-loading before hollowing the Remus information stealer into the legitimate Microsoft-signed binary ServiceModelReg.exe.
The Cruciferra loader provided the campaign’s defense-evasion capability by abusing the signed but vulnerable DCRCVDrv.sys driver in a bring-your-own-vulnerable-driver attack to terminate antivirus and EDR processes at kernel level. Researchers said Cruciferra is marketed separately as a MaaS offering, with higher-tier options for UAC bypass and EDR killing, while ErrTraffic is sold as a delivery service with customizable lures and campaign management, showing how operators can combine modular criminal services to distribute infostealers and disable endpoint protections.
