US charges Russian for infecting 80,000 freelancers with malware
A California federal grand jury indicted a Russian national for operating a phishing campaign that infected approximately 80,000 freelancers with TVRAT and DarkVNC malware. The campaign targeted independent workers across multiple platforms to establish remote access and credential theft capabilities.
Why it matters: Freelancers and gig economy workers face targeted malware campaigns; organizations hiring contractors should verify endpoint security and monitor for lateral movement from compromised accounts.
