The leak contains the recent version of the malware that used by threat actors that observed in wild and the builder linked with a telegram channel. Also, the authors encourage users to donate through bitcoins.

Researchers said “Gazorp’s panel’s look is far less enticing than promised. The main statistics page looks quite dull in comparison to that of Azorult v3, and the main improvement on its counterpart is the global heap map that provides statistics by country in a way that wasn’t accessible in the Azorult panels.”

Also, the threat actors advertised that they have made a number of changes including visual enhancements, better performance, multiple vulnerabilities and bug fixes.
