Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered an ongoing malware campaign that relies on AutoHotkey (AHK) scripting language to deliver multiple remote access trojans. At least four different versions of the campaign have been spotted starting February 2021. Researchers from Morphisec Labs say the campaign starts from an AutoHotKey compiled script. This is an open-source custom scripting language for Microsoft Windows that’s meant to provide easy hotkeys for macro-creation and software automation, enabling users to automate repetitive tasks in any Windows application.
