RSA Warns Of Zero Detection Trojan

GlassRAT has remained undetected for more than three years while stealthily targeting victims, security firm says.

It’s apparently not just zero-day vulnerabilities that organizations need to worry about these days, but also zero detection malware threats. For the second time in recent weeks, a security vendor has issued a warning about a malware tool that appears to have evaded detection for multiple years while stealthily going about targeting victims.

The malware, called GlassRAT, appears to have been released back in 2012. The limited telemetry and anecdotal reports that are available on it indicate that GlassRAT has been used to target Chinese nationals at large multinational companies, RSA Research said in an alert released this week.
