Fake Claude Opus 5 app delivers malware and wipes its own tracks

A malicious GitHub repository impersonating Anthropic distributes RevStealer, a Windows information stealer designed to harvest passwords, cryptocurrency wallet credentials, and login information. The campaign uses social engineering, baiting victims with the promise of free access to Claude Opus 5.

Why it matters: Users and organizations downloading tools from unverified sources are at risk of credential theft and cryptocurrency wallet compromise; practitioners should educate users on verifying official distribution channels before running applications.
