CPUID Hacked to Serve Trojanized CPU-Z and HWMonitor Downloads

A Russian-speaking threat actor compromised CPUID's download infrastructure to distribute trojanized versions of legitimate software, including CPU-Z and HWMonitor. These modified downloads contained STX RAT, a recently emerged Remote Access Trojan. This supply chain attack leverages trust in established software vendors to distribute malware to unsuspecting users. Organizations should verify software integrity through checksums, use official app stores where possible, and maintain robust endpoint detection solutions to mitigate risks from compromised software distribution channels.
