In both April and June this year, a series of cyber attacks was conducted against the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
These attacks resulted in 21 million current and former Federal government employees’ information being stolen.
After months of investigation, the FBI’s Cyber Task Force identified several Remote Access Tools (RATs) that were used to carry out the attack. One of the more effective tools discovered is named ‘FF-RAT’.
FF-RAT evades endpoint detection through stealth tactics, including the ability to download DLLs remotely and execute them in memory only.
