Microsoft Warns of RAT Delivered Through Trojanized Gaming Utilities

Microsoft Defender researchers identified a campaign where attackers distribute trojanized gaming utilities (e.g., Xeno.exe) to deploy a remote access trojan (RAT). The malware is delivered via malicious tools shared through browsers and chat platforms, tricking users into execution. The attack chain leverages PowerShell, living-off-the-land binaries (LOLBins), and tactics to evade Microsoft Defender detection. No specific dates, victim counts, or CVE IDs were disclosed in the report. The primary impact involves unauthorized remote access to compromised systems.
