SmartApeSG

Also known assmartapesg

SmartApeSG is a malware delivery threat actor/campaign also tracked as ZPHP and HANEYMANEY. The content links it to repeated ClickFix-style social engineering operations in which malicious scripts are injected into legitimate but compromised websites, victims are redirected to fake CAPTCHA or human-verification pages, and users are instructed to paste clipboard-injected commands into the Windows Run dialog. Reported delivery mechanisms include PowerShell and HTA downloaders, password-protected ZIP archives, and DLL side-loading. Malware families directly associated in the content include Remcos RAT, NetSupport RAT, StealC, and Sectop RAT (also noted as ArechClient2), and one report also describes an unidentified initial RAT preceding NetSupport RAT. The content also describes a May 14, 2026 supply chain compromise in which SmartApeSG injected malicious JavaScript into the Okendo Reviews widget used by more than 18,000 brands; the staged loader used localStorage execution control, User-Agent filtering favoring desktop victims, XOR-based decoding of hidden next-stage URLs, and dynamic script loading before presenting ClickFix-style prompts. Observed follow-on behavior in the reporting includes remote access tool and information-stealer deployment, persistence via Windows Registry changes and scheduled tasks, and abuse of legitimate software for side-loading or remote access.
