Follow-up on fake recruiter trojan is resolved after registrar clientHold
An oss-sec follow-up reports that a domain used in a fake recruiter campaign was placed on registrar clientHold on 10/10/2026. The author admits the follow-up used LLM assistance without disclosure and accepts two process corrections about disclosure.
According to the follow-up posted to the oss-sec list on 16 October 2026, the fake recruiter trojan case reported earlier is marked as resolved. The central fact is that the domain involved received the clientHold status from its registrar on 10 October 2026, which suspends its resolution. The text does not detail other technical actions, victims or attribution, so those should not be inferred.
The author admits the earlier publication should have disclosed LLM assistance and accepts two process corrections: future publications will state AI assistance, including in the incident response workflow of the agent security research team. The author also thanks the reader for checking the domain's status before replying.
