Unattributed RomCom Threat Actor Spoofing Popular Apps Now Hits Ukrainian Militaries
Threat actor RomCom RAT is now targeting Ukrainian military institutions. Known to deploy spoofed versions of popular software Advanced IP Scanner, once exposed, RomCom RAT switched to PDF Filler, another popular application, which indicates the group behind it is actively developing new capabilities.
MAR-10365227-2.v1 HyperBro
CISA analyzed 4 files associated with HyperBro malware. The files creates a backdoor program that is capable of uploading and downloading files to and from the system. The RAT is also capable of logging keystrokes and executing commands on the system.
Webworm: Espionage Attackers Testing and Using Older Modified RATs
The attackers are working on a number of malware threats, some of which have been used in attacks while others are in pre-deployment or testing stages. Symantec, by Broadcom Software, has gained insight into the current activities of a group we call Webworm. The group has developed customized versions of three older remote access Trojans (RATs), including Trochilus, Gh0st RAT, and 9002 RAT. At least one of the indicators of compromise (IOCs) observed by Symantec was used in an attack against an IT service provider operating in multiple Asian countries, while others appear to be in pre-deployment or testing stages.
New Wave of Espionage Activity Targets Asian Governments
Governments and state-owned organizations are the latest targets of a well-established threat actor. A distinct group of espionage attackers who were formerly associated with the ShadowPad remote access Trojan (RAT) has adopted a new, diverse toolset to mount an ongoing campaign against a range of government and state-owned organizations in a number of Asian countries. The attacks, which have been underway since at least early 2021, appear to have intelligence gathering as their main goal.
MagicRAT: Lazarus’ latest gateway into victim networks
- Cisco Talos has discovered a new remote access trojan (RAT) we're calling "MagicRAT," developed and operated by the Lazarus APT group, which the U.S. government believes is a North Korean state-sponsored actor. * Lazarus deployed MagicRAT after the successful exploitation of vulnerabilities in VMWare Horizon platforms. * We've also found links between MagicRAT and another RAT known as "TigerRAT," disclosed and attributed to Lazarus by the Korean Internet & Security Agency (KISA) recently. * TigerRAT has evolved over the past year to include new functionalities that we illustrate in this blog.

From the Front Lines | Unsigned macOS oRAT Malware Gambles For The Win
Researchers looking into a new APT group targeting gambling sites with a variety of cross-platform malware recently identified a version of oRAT malware targeting macOS users and written in Go. While neither RATs nor Go malware are uncommon on any platform, including the Mac, the development of such a tool by a previously unknown APT is an interesting turn, signifying the increasing need for threat actors to address the rising occurrence of Macs among their intended targets and victims. In this post, we dig deeper into the technical details of this novel RAT to understand better how it works and how security teams can detect it in their environments.
