New ChocoPoC RAT Targets Vulnerability Researchers via Fake PoC Exploit Repos

Researchers investigating security vulnerabilities are being targeted by a new malware named ChocoPoC, which disguises itself within fake proof-of-concept exploit repositories on GitHub. This sophisticated trojan, once executed, can steal sensitive data like passwords, cookies, and files, giving attackers control over the infected machine. This attack underscores the growing risk to cybersecurity professionals who frequently interact with potentially harmful code, highlighting the need for heightened vigilance and advanced detection methods.
