Baget was far more dangerous than a simple webshell because it actively worked to even after administrators patched the initial ProxyLogon vulnerability.
During 2021, Mikhailov was actively involved in development activity for the Trickbot Group, a sophisticated syndicate responsible for some of the most damaging cyberattacks of that year.
The (CVE-2021-3490) is a critical vulnerability discovered in 2021 that affects the Linux kernel's eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) verifier.

In a classic turn of events, a disgruntled customer leaked version 2.0 of the Baget builder to GitHub and Telegram channels. Within 48 hours, the leak was forked hundreds of times. Suddenly, any teenager with a Windows laptop and basic IT knowledge could generate FUD malware. Threat intelligence firms observed a during this period.

: Leaked internal chat logs (ContiLeaks) revealed that Baget was a core developer proficient in C/C++ . He was credited with finishing the code for a specific backdoor in late 2020, which served as a precursor to attacks in 2021.
