April 24, 2026
Incident Summary
A campaign targeting Chinese-speaking users distributed a trojanized SumatraPDF installer to deploy AdaptixC2 malware and obtain remote access using VS Code tunnels. The raw signal describes endpoint compromise tactics rather than a verified intrusion into Microsoft Bing Chat (legacy). Impact appears focused on infected user systems, not the AI service, based on the available details. Limited public details are available on scope, victims, and remediation.
