It seems the "trojanized" software was manually installed by people on the inside who were tricked into doing so.
Attack flow diagram for recent ZINC campaign:
1. Initial compromise - Target contacted via social media
2. Execution - ISO file containing trojanized PuTTY or KiTTY delivered -> User inputs SSH destination IP, username, password from a text file -> Connects to an actor-controlled SSH server and installs the backdoor
3. ..Persistence, command and control, data collection..
