GhostHook v1. 0 supports running on Windows, Android, Linux, and macOS operating systems. The program is compatible with major browsers, including: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Microsoft Edge.

Malware can spread through seemingly innocuous URLs that can be transmitted through various channels, including: :
  • Social media posts;
  • Forum posts;
  • URLs sent via email;
  • SMS messages;
  • Messages in WhatsApp, Telegram, XMPP and other messengers;
  • Virtual and physical QR codes.

The main advantage of GhostHook is its ability to operate without downloading files, using the browser to inject malicious code. This allows the program to enter systems unnoticed.

GhostHook can redirect users to any site, upload files via direct links, integrate into existing sites, or upload custom HTML for specific campaigns or landing pages.

The new malware has every chance to become a powerful tool in the arsenal of cybercriminals. Its active distribution on hacker forums highlights how quickly such threats can gain popularity, and how dangerous they are.

Both cybersecurity experts and ordinary users should be prepared for this threat, taking all necessary precautions to protect against the new type of malware.
