Cybercriminals Use Excel Exploit to Spread Fileless Remcos RAT Malware

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new phishing campaign that spreads a new fileless variant of known commercial malware called Remcos RAT.

Remcos RAT “provides purchases with a wide range of advanced features to remotely control computers belonging to the buyer,” Fortinet FortiGuard Labs researcher Xiaopeng Zhang said in an analysis published last week.

“However, threat actors have abused Remcos to collect sensitive information from victims and remotely control their computers to perform further malicious acts.”
