What can I find on hacking forums? The worst of course! Let's take a look at one of them… According to security researcher MalwareHunterTeam , a remote access Trojan called Parallax RAT is being distributed via malicious spam campaigns . Installing the RAT on victims' machines allows attackers to gain full control of the infected system.
Since December 2019, the researcher has been monitoring samples of the Parallax RAT, as they have appeared on VirusTotal and other related services.
With the low price of $65 per month, attackers prefer this particular malware to gain access to victims' computers and steal credentials and files or execute commands.
Attackers can use the stolen data to steal other information , gain access to online banking accounts, and spread the Parallax RAT to other victims.
The Parallax RAT is being sold on hacking forums…
