Not a stealer in the usual sense: a Rust remote-control agent that calls itself Bridge Agent (build 0.4.13-unique-build-provenance, built 2026-08-13 12:51 UTC). It runs the victim's browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Yandex, Firefox) or other programs on a hidden desktop ('Backstage') and relays screen, mouse, keyboard and clipboard to the operator; it also has a ConPTY terminal (cmd/PowerShell). Control server 144.31.223.230, written from immediates in the code (no string): https://144.31.223.230/api/agent/ca-recovery, /enroll, wss://144.31.223.230/api/agent/connect. Installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Bridge\BridgeAgent.exe with a Run value BridgeAgent (seen in a lab for build d49785f0; read statically here). One of 14 builds found; report: https://github.com/dominion2/reverse-engineering-and-malware-analysis/blob/master/report/bridge-agent-hidden-desktop.md
