However, its use of Discord and emojis as a command and control (C2) platform makes the malware stand out from others and could allow it to bypass security software that looks for text-based commands.

Discord’s subscription-based Nitro service enables you to use emojis from one server on any other. I love dropping a random Tom Nook emote in a server that never talks about Animal Crossing.
