Oldie but deadly: Trojan malware is still biggest business threat
Old school but effective, hackers are shifting aware from in-your-face ransomware to attacks that are much more subtle.
A new version of a powerful form of trojan malware is being offered on the dark web for free, with one cybersecurity company warning this could lead to a rise in attacks targeting passwords, bank details and other personal information, even by crooks with limited technical skills.
NanoCore RAT (Remote Access Trojan) first emerged in 2013 and continues to cause trouble for victims. Criminals could buy the malware for as little as $25, but versions of the software have also been leaked online throughout its development and now a new variant with additional, more dangerous, capabilities is being shared for free on a dark web forum.
