"Hackers Are Targeting Other Hackers by Infecting Their Tools With Malware"

The Cybereason Nocturnus team discovered a malware campaign where attackers are injecting and repackaging hacking tools with njRat, bringing further attention to the targeting of hackers by other hackers. The powerful trojan, njRat, can allow attackers to gain complete access to a target's desktop. Through this access, attackers could gather files and passwords as well as hijack webcams and microphones. Cybereason researcher, Amit Serper, stresses that companies' assets are still at risk of being breached in the battle between hackers as a hacker may get access to a system that another malicious actor has compromised. This article continues to discuss the trojanization of existing hacking tools with njRat, discoveries surrounding njRat, and how businesses can still be affected when hackers target other hackers.
