A new version of MLNK Builder, a link generation tool popular among cybercriminals, has emerged on the dark web. The updated feature set focuses on antivirus evasion and masquerading techniques, using icons of popular legitimate applications and file formats.
Existing customers of MLNK Builder will receive an update for free, but the authors have also released a “Private Edition” available to a tight circle of customers for an additional license of $125 per build.
Threat actors continue to develop more creative ways to trick detection mechanisms and deliver malicious payloads — leveraging a combination of extensions and different file formats, as well as living-off-the-land binaries.
