Experts at Intezer Labs warned that the developers of this malware are planning to target as many victims as possible through devices operating windows, Mac and Linux, and the danger of this software lies in its ability to document what is written through keyboards in devices and make screenshots of their screens, in addition to contributing to the carrying of device data thefts without the knowledge of their users.
