Cybersecurity firm Cyfirma recently announced that the self-titled Anonymous Arabic threat actor released a new version of its remote access trojan called Silver RAT. The Syria-based group operates a Telegram channel that sells Facebook and X bots, posts leaked databases, and distributes cracked RATs. Silver RAT is capable of logging keystrokes, destroying system restore points, encrypting data with ransomware, and deploying payloads of up to 50kb.
