New Undetectable RAT Emerges as Alternative to ScreenConnect
A new Remote Access Trojan (RAT) is being marketed on underground forums as a fully undetectable alternative to legitimate software, notably ScreenConnect. This malware boasts advanced features that allow it to evade modern security systems, including bypassing Google Chrome and Windows SmartScreen warnings by utilizing a valid Extended Validation (EV) certificate. The RAT potentially enables attackers to gain real-time visual control of compromised systems, facilitating data theft and system manipulation. This development highlights an alarming trend in sophisticated cybercrime tools, emphasizing the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures to counteract such evolving threats that challenge both individual and national security.
