The group behind a sophisticated remote access Trojan, SilverRAT, has links to both Turkey and Syria and plans to release an updated version of the tool to allow control over compromised Windows systems and Android devices.
According to a threat analysis published on Jan. 3, SilverRAT v1 — which currently works only on Windows systems — allows the building of malware for keylogging and ransomware attacks, and includes destructive features, such as the ability to delete system restore points, researchers from Singapore-based Cyfirma stated in their analysis.
