Fake Gemini installer delivers Vidar infostealer via Google Colab lure
A malicious executable disguised as a Google Gemini installer was deployed to deliver the Vidar infostealer on an EMEA company network. The attack leveraged Google Colab, a legitimate cloud-based platform for code execution, as a distribution vector to host and serve the malware payload.
Why it matters: Security teams managing enterprise networks must monitor for trojanized downloads of popular tools and recognize that legitimate platforms like Google Colab can be abused for malware delivery, requiring controls beyond traditional file reputation checks.
