This sample is part of a multi-stage Windows infostealer/RAT campaign. Observed chain:

1. User downloads fake Resident Evil 9 chapter skip mod from GitHub (the mod existed on NexusMods too but got removed).
2. Bootstrap reaches https://nomgwenya.co.za/js/settings?win=25.
3. Follow-on stage downloads portable Python/PyArmor components.
4. Payload fetches /go/boing from postprocesser.com and cosmoplanets.net.
5. Decoded payload is a Go/cgo stealer/RAT with browser credential/session theft capability, wallet/application/file collection, anti-analysis, persistence/relaunch, hVNC/webcam-capable code paths, and Wormhole/Backblaze-style upload authorization. The Go payload is attached.

- https://cosmoplanets.net/well-known/pki-validation/go/boing

Wormhole is abused as upload/session transport.
