Hackers Deploy AsyncRAT and SectopRAT Malware Using ScreenConnect on Windows

Cybercriminals are using new techniques such as SEO poisoning, typosquatting, and ScreenConnect, a Remote Monitoring and Management software, to infiltrate systems and compromise data. The tactics include tech support scams, which trick victims into allowing remote access for malware installation. The attackers also use SEO poisoning and typosquatting to distribute SectopRAT, a malware that steals sensitive browser data and evades security software. To counter these threats, people are advised to verify tech support contacts, be cautious with links, keep browsers updated, use antivirus software, and educate themselves about phishing schemes.
