URLhaus    

According to netenrich, Kaiten is a Trojan horse that opens a back door on the compromised computer that allows it to perform other malicious activities. The trojan does not create any copies of itself. This Backdoor arrives on a system as a file dropped by other malware or as a file downloaded unknowingly by users when visiting malicious sites.
