Remote Access Trojan adds ransomware and DDoS attacks to usual bag of tricks.
The Remote Access Trojan, or RAT for short, is a powerful tool among cybercriminals as it allows them to fully access and control a compromised computer or device to steal data or launch additional attacks.
Borat the RAT offers the usual tactics expected of this type of Trojan.
The RAT's dashboard also includes an option to compile code for Distributed Denial of Service attacks and ransomware campaigns.
"The Borat RAT is a potent and unique combination of Remote Access Trojan, spyware, and ransomware, making it a triple threat to any machine compromised by it," Cyble said in its report.
