Security News > 2022 > August > Meet Borat RAT, a New Unique Triple Threat

Borat RAT malware goes beyond the standard features and enables threat actors to deploy ransomware and DDoS attacks.

Borat RAT is a unique and powerful combination of RAT, spyware, and ransomware capabilities fused into a single malware.

The Borat RAT provides a dashboard for malicious hackers to perform RAT malware activities and the ability to compile the malware binary for DDoS and ransomware attacks on the victim's machine.

Remarkably, Borat RAT can deliver a ransomware payload to the victim's machine to encrypt users' files and demand a ransom.

The Borat RAT malwarewill check to see if the system has a connected microphone and if so, will record audio from the computer, which will be saved in another file called "Micaudio.wav." Similarly, the malware can begin recording from the camera if a webcam is discovered on the system.

The remote desktop function, which is included in the Borat RAT malware, can wreak havoc on your business as it allows the threat actor to delete critical information/intellectual rights, grab the version of the operating system and the model of the machine and steal potential cookies/saved login credentials.
