Introducing Gh0stGambit: A Dropper for Deploying Gh0st RAT - #Gh0stRAT
Recent cyber threat reports highlight the continued use and evolution of Gh0st RAT, a remote access trojan (RAT) created by a Chinese hacking group in 2008. Gh0st RAT and its variants, such as Sainbox, Nood, and ValleyRAT, have been employed in various campaigns targeting industries like healthcare, businesses, and governments. These RATs possess capabilities for surveillance, persistence, data theft, and remote control of infected systems. While historically associated with nation-state actors, recent campaigns suggest financially motivated cybercriminals are also leveraging these malware families, particularly targeting Chinese-speaking individuals and organizations through phishing emails and malicious websites.
