Summary: “Unmasking the Hidden Threat: Inside a Sophisticated Excel-Based Attack Delivering Fileless Remcos RAT” delves into a complex cyberattack that uses Excel files to deliver the Fileless Remcos Remote Access Trojan (RAT). This sophisticated attack bypasses traditional detection methods by embedding malicious code in Excel spreadsheets, which can execute without being detected as a file. The Remcos RAT then grants attackers covert control over the victim’s system, allowing for espionage and data theft without traditional file-based indicators.
