VanToMRAT is a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that can proof to be quite threatening, due to its ability to exfiltrate sensitive information from infected computers, as well as to provide the remote attacker with full control over the victim's machine. VanToMRAT allows the threat's operator to access and control important Windows features such as the Command Prompt, Registry Editor, and Task Manager. Furthermore, VanToMRAT has the ability to capture screenshots from the user's desktop, as well as to access connected Web cameras and take screenshots from it. All information that VanToMRAT collects from victims may be transferred to the attacker via email or FTP, so it is safe to say that victims of VanToMRAT may end up revealing information to their attackers unknowingly.
