About GhostRedirector.

Privilege escalation relies on public Potato-class exploits (EfsPotato, BadPotato) and custom helpers, plus rogue admin users for persistence. Primary motivation is financial SEO fraud rather than confirmed espionage, so type is modeled as cybercrime-syndicate rather than nation-state APT.
