Threat Metric
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

The Bozok Remote Access Trojan (RAT) is an unsafe tool that was developed by someone who goes by the nickname ‘Slayer616.’ Unfortunately, the harmful program he worked on is being distributed free of charge, which means that it can provide any evil-minded users with the ability to propagate their personalized version of this cyber threat. The list of features that the Bozok RAT supports is not impressive, but the author has provided additional updates and plugins that would allow the attacker to extend the features of the Trojan.
The base features supported by the Bozok RAT would allow the attacker to upload files to the compromised system, as well as to download files from it. The operator also can work with the Windows Registry Editor, manage the processes, and collect saved passwords from Web browsers and FTP clients. If the attacker opts to add the plugins supported by the Bozok RAT, he also can access the following list of modules:
- Remote Desktop connection
- Web Camera capture
- Keylogger
- Grab desktop screenshots
After deployed, the Bozok RAT may attempt to gain persistence by creating an auto startup Registry key, or by using the Windows Startup entries.
Protecting yourself from the Bozok RAT and similar threats does not require much – you can use a trustworthy anti-malware software suite to keep an eye on incoming files and connections. It also is a good idea to stay away from suspicious websites and emails, as well as to avoid downloading files from an unknown origin.
