Kean-eyed viewers at HP quickly discovered the malicious activity and reported the complete analysis in a research report. The report breaks down the entire campaign that goes by – windowsupgraded[.]com in extreme detail.

We’ll get back to the RedLine Stealer part later.
The HP report also mentions a similar activity that took place in December 2021, where a campaign initiated a malware campaign to download a popular messaging service – Discord. Furthermore, the report also mentions that the same RedLine Stealer was used to steal data under the domain – discrodappp[.]com. Both domains windowsupgraded[.]com and discrodappp[.]com used the same domain registrar, DNS servers, and opted for the RedLine Stealer tool.
