MagicRAT: Lazarus’ latest gateway into victim networks · 2022-09-07T12:01:00.000Z
Cisco Talos has discovered a new remote access trojan (RAT), which we are calling "MagicRAT," that we are attributing with moderate to high confidence to the Lazarus threat actor, a state-sponsored APT attributed to North Korea by the U.S. Cyber Security & Infrastructure Agency (CISA). This new RAT was found on victims that had been initially compromised through the exploitation of publicly exposed VMware Horizon platforms.
