Beware of links from popular YouTube videos, as they may contain #malware. We found such a video (64K views, 180K subscribers) that has a link to a Tor Browser installer in the description. That installer comes with a previously unknown spyware that we dubbed #OnionPoison.

When the browser is launched, this library contacts the C2 server to receive a second stage implant. [2/4]
