Description

They just added #CVE-2026-21509 and #CVE-2026-21513 (borrowed from APT28) onto their delivery chain, pushing updated via weaponized and LNKs against 🇮🇳 targets. Separately, fresh SheetCreep + a shiny new CrystalShell-Slack variant co-dropped on a Kashmir target, because one implant is never enough. The vibeware factory is running three shifts: Crystal, .NET and PowerShell.
