Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't look like this has anything to do with Syncthing vulnerabilities. Instead it looks like a hack that uses a preconfigured Syncthing installation to transfer sensitive data. Disturbing nonetheless.

    It's a Phishing scam using a tool. It's no more exploiting SyncThing than TCP/IP.
