Potassium update: the Mirai fork @synthient reported in March (https://x.com/deobfuscately/status/2033923869782712514) is still active and the operator appears to have taken up Dutch poetry.

Same key material and HTTP C2 protocol as the original potassium.vitacoco...[.]st variant. 11-port random C2 rotation, spreading via ADB to Android TV boxes.
