Description
A malicious website disguised as a Disney+ collaboration page was used to distribute the Vidar infostealer malware. The site tricked users with a fake "View Full Brief" button, initiating a complex, multi-stage infection chain that used various scripts and shortcuts. While the infection happened in the background, a decoy PDF was displayed to distract the victim. Although many of the initial malicious links are down, the fake Disney+ website could still be a threat for future attacks.
