bleepingcomputer.com

A fake Claude AI website is distributing a new Windows malware named Beagle. The malicious site mimics the legitimate Claude AI, offering a fake "Claude-Pro Relay" download that installs a backdoor. This backdoor, Beagle, provides attackers with remote system access and basic command execution capabilities. This campaign utilizes a loader called DonutLoader, previously seen in attacks on Southeast Asian government organizations, to deploy Beagle in memory, aiming to evade detection. Users are advised to download Claude only from official sources.
