Telegram-Based Millenium RAT Campaign Infects 60,000 Devices

Millenium RAT, a remote access trojan rewritten in C++, has infected approximately 62,289 devices across 160 or more countries according to Group-IB. The malware leverages Telegram for command and control communications. The campaign represents a significant expansion of this threat's reach and capability.

Why it matters: Organizations worldwide face immediate risk from this widely distributed RAT, which can enable attackers to execute arbitrary code, steal data, and maintain persistent access; defenders should monitor for Millenium indicators of compromise (IOCs) and block Telegram-based command and control channels.
