A dangerous new strain of malware called the Neptune RAT is being used by cybercriminals to steal passwords and cryptocurrency, as well as extort ransom from affected users.
The Neptune RAT is highly sophisticated, with system destruction capabilities and the ability to quietly steal credentials and spy on users, while evading detection by advanced antivirus software.
The malware developer, allegedly linked to a group called the 'Mason Team,' has been disseminating the Neptune RAT on social media sites like YouTube, Telegram, and GitHub.
The Neptune RAT poses serious dangers, including cryptocurrency theft, password stealing, ransomware attacks, disabling antivirus software, spying on user activities, and potentially destroying the infected PC.
