11 Malicious NuGet Tools Pose as Game Cheats to Drop a Windows Host-Surveillance Payload
11 malicious NuGet tools pose as game cheats to deploy Windows payloads, track hosts, and use Google Sheets for telemetry and control.

Advanced tools
This module is strongly consistent with malicious supply-chain payload behavior: it delays execution for days, fetches attacker-controlled configuration from remote HTTPS sources (obscured via base64), collects host fingerprinting plus credential-relevant reconnaissance (secret-like environment variable names and ~/.ssh key/config/known_hosts presence), and exfiltrates the resulting data via HTTPS POST to an endpoint specified by the fetched config. The presence of C2-driven routing, long dormancy, and targeted secret/SSH reconnaissance makes benign intent highly unlikely.
