RunningRat is a type of malware that was discovered as part of a larger campaign that includes Gold Dragon, Brave Prince, and Ghost419. This malware is a remote access Trojan (RAT) that operates with two DLLs, and its main function is to steal keystrokes. However, further analysis has revealed that the DLL has code for more extensive functionality. McAfee ATR analysts are continuing to research RunningRat to determine if this extra code is used or possibly left over from a larger RAT toolkit. Similar to other malware, RunningRat can infect a computer through suspicious downloads, emails, or websites, often without the user's knowledge. Once inside, it can steal personal information, disrupt operations, or even hold data hostage for ransom. The discovery of RunningRat and the larger campaign it is a part of highlights the need for increased vigilance in protecting against malware attacks. Businesses and individuals should take steps to protect their systems and data by regularly updating security software, avoiding suspicious emails and downloads, and backing up important data to prevent loss in the event of an attack.
