Cybercrime Backfires: Hacker's Trojan Builder Ensnares Thousands of Aspiring Criminals

In a twist of digital irony, a cunning hacker has turned the tables on wannabe cybercriminals. A malicious Trojan builder, masquerading as a free tool for creating XWorm remote access Trojans, has infected over 18,000 Windows devices worldwide. This weaponized software, distributed through popular hacking channels, covertly harvests passwords, captures screenshots, and can even trigger the infamous blue screen of death. The attack primarily targets novice hackers, known as "script kiddies," exposing the vulnerabilities within the cybercriminal ecosystem itself.
