AsyncRAT Malware Distribution Campaign Uncovered

AT&T Alien Labs detected a cyber threat exploiting AsyncRAT, an open-source remote access tool. Despite being active for 11 months, it remained undetected due to sophisticated obfuscation techniques. Over 300 malware samples and 100+ linked domains were observed. The threat begins via phishing pages and JavaScript files, delivering the Remote Access Trojan (RAT). The complexity of detection is raised due to frequent updates and the involvement of the Command and Control server.
