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.
