AsyncRAT Malware Attacking the US Infrastructure

AsyncRAT, an open-source remote access Trojan (RAT) malware, has been actively attacking the US infrastructure for almost a year, according to AT&T Cybersecurity researchers. Hackers use AsyncRAT for data theft, system manipulation, surveillance, cyber espionage, keylogging, and more. Despite its dynamically changing and heavily obfuscated code, the malware’s network infrastructure remains consistent, with common domains frequently updated. To avoid detection, it automatically changes the command and control domain over time using a Domain Generation Algorithm.
