The RAT King “NetSupport RAT” is Back in Action Via fake browser updates

In the perpetually evolving realm of cybersecurity, the reawakening of NetSupport RAT, a Remote Access Trojan (RAT), casts a looming shadow that beckons the attention of vigilant security professionals.  This insidious malware, initially conceived as a bona fide remote administration tool, has metamorphosed into a potent weapon wielded by nefarious actors to infiltrate systems and establish unbridled remote control. NetSupport Manager, the progenitor of NetSupport RAT, emerged as a genuine remote technical support tool three decades ago, adorned with capabilities for file transfers, support chat, inventory management, and remote access.  However, the noble origins of this software have been marred by the malevolent intent of threat actors, who have adeptly exploited its functionalities for malicious endeavors.
