Rewterz Threat Alert – Variant of Adwind RAT Targets Petroleum Sector

Severity

High

Analysis Summary

Adwind is a remote access Trojan known to evade detection upon entry and to communicate with a command-and-control server once connected. The Trojan can steal sensitive information, such as credentials, as well as spy through a user’s webcam and log a user’s keystoke activity. The new addition to the modified remote access Trojan uses multi-layer obfuscation by containing various file extensions to avoid detection, with iDefense suspecting it to be tailored specifically to this industry. The malware originated from compromised Westnet accounts.
