A New RAT and a Hands-on-Keyboard Intrusion

Security researchers identified a new remote access trojan (RAT) called AstarionRAT deployed via ClickFix infection chains that use the Matanbuchus 3.0 loader. The analysis reveals a multi-stage attack followed by hands-on intrusion activity.

Why it matters: Organizations need to monitor for ClickFix social engineering campaigns and understand the infection chain leading to AstarionRAT, as successful compromises enable interactive attacker access to systems.
