SilkParasite Espionage Campaign Targets Central Asian Governments with Five New RATs
A cyber espionage campaign called SilkParasite has targeted Central Asian government entities using seven remote access tool (RAT) families, five of which are newly documented. The operation, discovered in late 2025, deploys DriveSilkRAT, CookiETagRAT, NomadRAT, GoginRAT, and NodeEdgeRAT alongside two previously known RATs.
Why it matters: Central Asian government practitioners should assess exposure to these RATs and coordinate with threat intelligence teams to identify any intrusions; the five new malware families lack public detection signatures and require urgent analysis for defensive coverage.
