New Deep#Door RAT Uses Stealth and Persistence to Target Windows Systems

Security researchers at Securonix uncovered a malware campaign named Deep#Door, which deploys a Python-based remote access trojan (RAT) concealed within a batch file to target Windows systems. The malware disables Windows defenses, establishes persistence through multiple methods, and exfiltrates data via a public TCP tunnel. Deep#Door employs stealth techniques to maintain long-term access while evading detection. No specific dates, CVE IDs, or victim details were disclosed in the report. The primary impact includes unauthorized system access, data theft, and potential follow-on attacks due to its persistent nature.
