Microsoft researchers have discovered StilachiRAT malware, designed to evade detection and steal credentials stored in Google Chrome.
In November 2024, Microsoft Incident Response researchers uncovered a remote access Trojan (RAT) called StilachiRAT. This discovery highlights the evolving nature of cyber threats, with the malware combining multiple malicious functions into a single tool for maximum impact.
Designed to evade detection and exfiltrate sensitive data, StilachiRAT steals credentials and extracts and decrypts usernames and passwords stored in Google Chrome. It performs extensive system reconnaissance, collecting details such as operating system information, BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) serial numbers, camera presence and active remote desktop protocol (RDP) sessions.
