Dayyyyyyum. That's clever. Like a numbers station. Post the data completely in the clear, then point a script at it, and it decodes to instructions. This is zygote-level use of social media for this type of C&C obfuscation. Imagine one social media comment that redirects to three others, which all have parts of the final code that needs to be assembled together to decrypt. Now multiply that by 100. Oof. The security gang sure has their work cut out for themselves!
