KGB RAT trojan packs webcam spying, password theft and a “fun” menu to terrorize victims

KGB RAT is a Windows trojan sold on hacking forums for $150 per month that grants attackers access to victim webcams, microphones, keystrokes, and saved passwords. Built on the NjRAT codebase, the malware includes features designed to frighten and harass targets. Group-IB researchers analyzed the trojan and documented its capabilities.

Why it matters: Windows users and organizations face exposure to credential theft and surveillance if infected; administrators should monitor for NjRAT and KGB RAT indicators and educate users on avoiding trojan distribution vectors.
