Description | (Trend Micro) RATs have long been a common Windows threat, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that it has come to Android. A RAT has to gain root access — usually by exploiting a vulnerability — in order to have control over a system. Discovered in 2012, the original authors intended AndroRAT — initially a university project — as an open-source client/server application that can provide remote control of an Android system, which naturally attracted cybercriminals. | |
