Kaspersky links recruiter-lure campaign to new cross-platform RATs Image: Primary
Kaspersky has attributed two previously undocumented JavaScript and Node.js remote-access trojans to the Iranian-linked Nimbus Manticore group. The NodeRabbit and PollCat malware families were delivered in trojanized coding-test archives sent through recruiter-themed messages on LinkedIn and job platforms, according to reporting on Kaspersky's findings. The tools can run on Windows, Linux and macOS and provide operators with command execution, file operations and persistence mechanisms. Reported sightings included systems in Afghanistan, Egypt and Ethiopia.
