На прошлой неделе исследователи компании Microsoft опубликовали отчет о еще одной похожей атаке. В более раннем исследовании основное внимание было уделено социальной инженерии, в то время как Microsoft подробно рассказывает о технической стороне атаки. Общая схема атаки показана на скриншоте выше. В процессе интервью разработчику присылают ссылку на код веб-приложения, написанного с использованием фреймворка Next.js. Код хранился на сервисе Bitbucket. Организаторы атаки предусмотрели несколько вариантов выполнения вредоносного кода, содержащегося в проекте. Например, может использоваться автоматизация для Visual Studio Code, которая дает команду на выполнение сразу после того, как разработчик открыл проект и обозначил его как доверенный.
