Introducing the *EdgeStepper*: the DNS hijacker thatโ€™s NOT here to make friends! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ”ช Meet the mastermind, PlushDaemon - the tech villain we never knew we needed! Like "Drake Pointing", he's saying: "Software updates? Nah fam, enjoy the malware instead!" ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’” This sneaky Go-based backdoor is out here taking your traffic on a joyride to malware heaven! ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จโœจ In case you didnโ€™t know, the EdgeStepper is basically that one friend who changes your Netflix password and then serves you a plate of malware spaghetti ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽญ. It reroutes your DNS queries so that your precious software updates end up at *their* crib instead of yours, all while youโ€™re chilling like "This is fine" โ˜•๐Ÿ”ฅ. One "leaked" chat from a dev reads: โ€œEdgeStepper? I can't even! How do I not step in this edge??โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‰ Meanwhile, influencer security nerds are acting like this is just another Tuesday... but guys, STONKS ain't rising here! ๐Ÿ“‰ Hot take? 2024 is gonna be the year of DIY malware kits for amateurs! So grab your popcorn, folks, it's going to be a *lit* show! ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’ฅ #TechChaos #SecuritySzn #DNSDoesntStandForDrama ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿค–
