Details

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_

## Source: kam193 (c86a3079da8157aef32d5d4c4f2420239981a142fc1150eb0ac2e695be2779e9) During installation package downloads and runs a malicious executable. Likely continuation of 2026-03-rowrap.

The campaign is built over a malicious Roblox API wrapper. The roboat[.]pro (later robase[.]app) domain advertises a wrapper that is either directly malicious (as roboat collected in the campaign 2026-03-rowrap) or uses a malicious dependencies (like roboat-utils). New versions are published simultaneously with malicious dependencies and quickly removed. Another advertisement channel is https://github.com/Addi9000/roboat referencing two active contributors: https://github.com/Addi9000 and https://github.com/RoCruise
