Sandworm hackers target IT pros with trojanized WireGuard VPN client

Sandworm, a Russian-affiliated threat group, has been distributing trojanized WireGuard VPN clients to system administrators and IT professionals since May through fake job recruitment campaigns. The malicious software appears designed to compromise trusted infrastructure used by IT staff.

Why it matters: IT professionals and system administrators face direct targeting via credential harvesting and supply-chain compromise, with immediate risk to organizational network access and security posture.
