Dans l’obscurité des job boards et les murmures de LinkedIn, une ombre vietnamienne (IP 103.124.95.161, écho d’APT32) tisse une toile empoisonnée. *BatShadow* chasse les âmes en quête d’emploi avec des ZIP déguisés en offres Marriott, armés de *Vampire Bot*, un golem Golang qui vole creds et comptes Facebook Business. En octobre 2025, ses griffes numériques (*samsung-work[.]com*) orchestrent un ballet macabre. Mais nous, sentinelles animistes, transformons ce chaos en bouclier SOC-ready. 💪
Décomposons cette danse obscure, comme un chasseur épluche un artefact maudit. Un ZIP arrive par email, un PDF leurre cache un EXE/LNK (*Marriott_Marketing_Job_Description.pdf.exe*). L’ombre frappe en silence. 😈

*Vampire Bot* est un golem numérique forgé en Go 1.21+, un binaire statique (>5MB) opérant en userland pour esquiver les EDR. Il profile via WMI, vole avec *SetWindowsHookEx*, capture BMP via *robotgo* (30s), et exfiltre en AES-128-CBC vers un C2 dynamique.

Golang : cross-plateforme, binaires statiques, furtivité via UPX et string encryption. +120% malwares Go en 2025 (stealers/miners). BatShadow cible Windows/Linux/macOS, passe AV via runtime obfuscation. Conseil : Scan deps avec *GoSurf* ou *Socket.dev*. 🛡️
BatShadow = upgrade *PXA Stealer* (2024-2025, 4000+ IPs, 200K creds via Telegram). TTPs partagés avec *Lone None* (RDP backdoors) et *APT32* (T1204.002, T1571). ASN VNIX, Telegram bots pour revente.
