The malware loader PikaBot is being distributed as part of a malvertising campaign targeting users searching for legitimate software like AnyDesk. PikaBot was previously only distributed via malspam campaigns, similar to QakBot, and emerged as one of the preferred payloads for a threat actor known as TA577. The malware family, which first appeared in early 2023, consists of a loader and a core module that allows it to operate as a backdoor and a distributor for other payloads.
