Konni Group Uses Weaponized Word Documents to Deliver RAT Malware

In the ever-evolving cybersecurity domain, the resurgence of NetSupport RAT, a Remote Access Trojan (RAT), has raised concerns among security professionals.  This sophisticated malware, initially developed as a legitimate remote administration tool, has been repurposed by malicious actors to infiltrate systems and establish remote control. NetSupport Manager, the software upon which NetSupport RAT is based, originated as a genuine remote technical support tool three decades ago.  It provided capabilities for file transfers, support chat, inventory management, and remote access.  While its initial purpose was legitimate, threat actors have exploited its functionalities for malicious purposes.
