Intel Name: Valleyrat insights: tactics, techniques, and detection methods
Date of Scan: October 25, 2024
Impact: High
Summary: ValleyRAT is a remote access Trojan (RAT) that was first detected in early 2023, mainly aimed at Chinese-speaking users via targeted phishing campaigns. Its primary function is to monitor and control infected systems, allowing attackers to install additional malicious plugins for increased damage. As a multi-stage, multi-component malware, ValleyRAT cleverly avoids detection by loading its components sequentially, enabling it to stay hidden and maintain persistence on the target system throughout the attack.
