Background

Bitdefender describes BitRAT as a well-known remote access trojan (RAT) sold across underground criminal marketplaces and forums. Lifetime access costs just $20, an attractive price point for criminals that fuels the malware's distribution. Because every buyer uses it differently, BitRAT is harder to contain, appearing in trojanized software, phishing, and watering hole campaigns. Its appeal stems from its versatility: it can exfiltrate data, bypass UAC, launch DDoS attacks, monitor the clipboard, hijack the webcam, steal credentials, record audio, mine cryptocurrency via XMRig, and perform general keylogging.
