Perhaps the only real guarantee we can make about something that Must Not Fall Into the Wrong Hands is that eventually it will do exactly that. Case in point: BleepingComputer reported on Monday that cybercriminals have been using a leaked version of a legitimate red-teaming tool called Shellter to deploy malware.
The Shellter Project describes its software as "the most sophisticated loader ever created" that "provides unique static and runtime evasion features developed directly from our in-house R&D efforts." It's also "payload agnostic and can be used with position independent code that is generated from all popular C2 frameworks."
