Guarding Against the Unseen: Investigating a Stealthy Remcos Malware Attack on Colombian Firms

Check Point analysts have discovered a large-scale phishing campaign in Colombia which targeted over 40 global organisations across various industries. The campaign intended to secretly install the Remcos malware onto victims’ computers. This malware, “Swiss Army Knife” RAT, gives hackers full control over infected devices and can be used in numerous attacks. Most typical effects of a Remcos infection are account theft, data theft and follow-up infections.
