Decoding Cyber: RAT – The Sinister Puppeteer of Cyber Threats A Remote Access Trojan (RAT) is a type of malware that allows hackers to control a device remotely. Emerging in the early 2000s, RATs have become a common tool for cybercriminals, offering a way to secretly infiltrate and manipulate victims' devices without their knowledge. RATs can be used for a range of malicious activities, including stealing sensitive information, spying on users, distributing other malware, or even hijacking system resources for illegal activities like cryptocurrency mining. They typically enter systems through deceptive links, email attachments, or as part of a software download. The threat posed by RATs underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity practices such as using updated antivirus software, avoiding suspicious downloads, and educating users about the risks of phishing attacks.
