Borat RAT is an Impressive Trojan Being Sold on Forums

The name Borat RAT might sound like a joke based on the infamous movie character, but the truth is that this Remote Access Trojan (RAT) is not a threat to be underestimated. It packs a rich number of features that would allow its operators to steal data, manipulate infected systems, and spy on their victims. Furthermore, the Borat RAT packs a ransomware module, which is a relatively rare feature when talking about Trojans of this type.

Another dangerous fact about the Borat RAT is that it is not used by a specific group of cybercriminals. Instead, its developers are selling and renting it out to bidders on hacking forums. This means that anyone willing to pay a certain fee could get their hands on the Borat RAT, and start infecting users worldwide. Because of this, the reach of the threat cannot be estimated – if it attracts enough buyers, it could be a global threat.

According to Borat RAT's creators, it has support for a wide range of extra features on top of the typical RAT components. The ransomware module is fully functional, and buyers can customize it according to their needs. The criminals have also included a keylogger module, which could help harvest data and passwords from the victim. Last but not least, the Borat RAT also boasts a distributed-denial-of-service feature, which could command all active infected devices to perform an attack on a targeted network address.

In addition to this, the Borat RAT packs an infostealer module, which targets Web browsers, email clients, and Web browsers.
