GhostPoster

Also known asGhostPoster

GhostPoster is a malicious browser extension campaign referenced in reporting on the StegoAd operation. The available content links GhostPoster to a Chinese operation through Koi Security’s assessment that the credential exfiltration domain mitarchive.info was previously associated with DarkSpectre and with the ShadyPanda and GhostPoster extension campaigns. GhostPoster is also described as sharing a steganographic concealment method with StegoAd, specifically hiding code inside an extension’s icon, and StegoAd reportedly reused some extension names previously seen in GhostPoster, including “Ads Block Ultimate.” Known associated names mentioned in the content are GhostPoster, ShadyPanda, and DarkSpectre. No additional high-confidence details on GhostPoster’s targets, full intrusion set, or broader TTPs are directly provided in the supplied content.
