Gh0st RAT is a remote administration tool (RAT) that was created by a Chinese hacking group called C. Rufus Security Team in 2008. It was released as open-source software, which made it widely available and easy for threat actors to obtain and customize. Gh0st RAT has a range of features, including surveillance, persistence, and information stealing capabilities. It can be used to remotely access and control infected systems, steal sensitive information, and perform a variety of malicious actions. The tool has been used in various cyber attacks and is a known threat to organizations, particularly those in sensitive industries such as healthcare.
Gh0st RAT has a long history of being used by Chinese nation-state threat actors to target high-value organizations, such as governments, embassies, economic targets, and media. One notable operation was the GhostNet operation in 2009, which used Gh0st RAT to conduct surveillance and espionage on the Dalai Lama’s Tibetan exile centers in multiple countries. Despite being first identified almost 15 years ago, Gh0st RAT is still actively distributed today, as evidenced by the recent phishing campaign targeting a European-owned medical technology organization in China. The malware was delivered via an embedded link affiliated with Tencent and based in Hong Kong, and the C2 server was located on the CHINANET Jiangsu province network in the city of Nanjing. This highlights the ongoing threat posed by Gh0st RAT and the need for organizations to remain vigilant against such attacks.

To protect against Gh0st RAT and other types of malware, it is important to keep your operating system and software up-to-date, use strong passwords and two-factor authentication, and avoid opening suspicious emails or downloading files from untrusted sources. Additionally, using anti-virus software and performing regular system scans can help detect and remove any potential infections.
