Cybersecurity researchers from BlackBerry are warning of a remote access trojan called DCRat (aka DarkCrystal RAT) that is available for sale on Russian cybercrime forums. The DCRat backdoor is very cheap, it appears to be the work of a lone threat actor that goes online with the monikers of “boldenis44,” “crystalcoder,” and Кодер (“Coder”). Prices for the backdoor start at 500 RUB ($5) for a two-month license, 2,200 RUB ($21) for a year, and 4,200 RUB ($40) for a lifetime subscription.
