The Java-based StrRAT virus was discovered in June 2020 by experts at the German cybersecurity firm G Data CyberDefense AG. STRRAT is a Java-based RAT that uses a lot of plugins to provide an attacker full remote access. It has the ability to steal login credentials saved on browsers and email clients, log keystrokes, and remotely manipulate compromised Windows operating systems. STRRat malware can also be used to imitate a ransomware attack. No files are encrypted; the virus simply adds the file extension (.crimson) to Notepad to show a bogus ransom message. Browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Foxmail, Outlook, and Thunderbird are supported by STRRAT malware.
