Kaspersky discovers dual-threat NKAbuse malware in Latin America and Vietnam

Kaspersky has detected a new malware variant, NKAbuse, that utilizes NKN technology, a blockchain-based networking protocol for anonymity and decentralization. NKAbuse serves as a backdoor/Remote Access Trojan (RAT) and a flooder for DDoS attacks. It has been identified in Colombia, Mexico, and Vietnam, and grants attackers unauthorized access to systems, data theft, and real-time monitoring. NKAbuse also has advanced features such as collecting system and network information, managing files and executing system commands.
