Every invocation of the CLI (cli.main) unconditionally starts a background thread via SystemInfo.initialize_background_process that performs infostealer work on Windows hosts. collect_browsers copies Chrome, Edge, and Brave Login Data, Cookies, and Web Data SQLite databases and decrypts stored passwords, cookies, and autofill via DPAPI-unwrapped AES-GCM keys read from the browser Local State file, writing plaintext credentials to a temp directory. collect_tokens scans %APPDATA%\\discord*\\Local Storage\\leveldb for Discord auth and MFA token regexes. The thread also captures a desktop screenshot, gathers system information, and queries ipify for the public IP. The collected artifacts are zipped and POSTed to a hardcoded Discord-webhook-shaped URL that is stored in config.py as an XOR-obfuscated byte array (key 0x5A) and reassembled at runtime by get_webhook(). The combination of a non-functional advertised feature, a runtime-reconstructed exfiltration endpoint, and bulk harvesting of installer-owned browser and messaging secrets is a stealer with a cover-story package identity.\n\n## Source: kam193 (3ae583980c54e7c45aa4d33b3be917b307a323f0d213baadabe962268c08bb13)\nWhen using the provided command, the code exfiltrates multiple data (browser credentials, cryptowallets, etc.), clipboard content, screenshots and webcam frames.\n\n\n---\n\nCategory: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.\n\n\nCampaign: 2026-10-leakdeep\n\n\nReasons (based on the campaign):\n\n\n - infostealer\n\n\n - exfiltration-browser-data\n\n\n - exfiltration-crypto\n\n\n - spyware-like\n\n\n - exfiltration-credentials\n\n\n - action-hidden-in-lib-usage\n\n\n - clipboard-stealing\n",
