A new remote access Trojan (RAT) by the name of Borat has been appearing on darknet markets. Borat is designed to be easy-to-use, and gives attackers the ability to deploy ransomware, perform DDoS attacks, bypass user account control (UAC), access files and network devices, and even take complete control of a victim's mouse and keyboard.
Borat is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor their attacks, and comes in a package that includes a builder, malicious modules, and a server certificate.
Acronis Cyber Protect already recognizes and blocks Borat, thanks to its threat-agnostic detection capabilities that identify even never-before-seen malware variants based on the malicious behaviors that they exhibit.
