Threats Tagged 'rust-based rat'

LabubaRAT is a custom, unsigned 64-bit Rust-based remote access trojan identified by Blackpoint, designed to masquerade as legitimate NVIDIA software. It provides comprehensive remote access capabilities including command execution, file operations, screen capture, and SOCKS5 proxying. The malware features configurable enrollment fields and an internal ZM_ configuration namespace, suggesting it is built on a reusable, multi-tenant framework consistent with a malware-as-a-service offering. LabubaRAT is managed through an associated backend infrastructure called LabubaPanel, hosted on German providers. The delivery mechanism utilized the RAT's own JavaScript execution capability. First observed in July 2026, it targets Windows platforms and employs various evasion techniques including masquerading as NVIDIA components and abusing legitimate Microsoft build utilities.
