XWorm RAT Evolves Into Surveillance Platform

XWorm remote access trojan (RAT) has expanded its capabilities through additional plugins that enable location tracking, live audio streaming, and manipulation of authenticated browser sessions. The malware now functions as a comprehensive surveillance platform beyond its original remote access functionality.

Why it matters: Organizations and users targeted by XWorm face expanded risk of location exposure, real-time audio capture, and account hijacking through compromised browser sessions; security teams should review endpoint detection rules and browser session monitoring.
