A new advanced persistent threat (APT) has been discovered by security researchers. Dubbed Moker, the malware is a remote access Trojan that can evade security measures on Windows PC.
The malware was discovered by Israeli security firm enSilo, who gave the Trojan its name. Researchers discovered it hiding on a customer’s network but were not entirely sure how it got there.
The malware creates a new user account in Windows and opens an RDP channel, allowing it to gain complete control over the victim’s device. The researchers said that Moker is able to change important system files, modify security settings and own system processes.
