S1087 – AsyncRAT is a sophisticated Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that enables threat actors to gain covert control over compromised systems. Built with asynchronous communication methods, AsyncRAT allows attackers to perform a variety of actions remotely, including file management, keylogging, screen capturing, and webcam access. Its flexible modular design makes it attractive for both amateur and experienced cybercriminals. The malware is typically delivered via phishing emails or malicious attachments, exploiting vulnerabilities in unpatched systems.

Protection against AsyncRAT requires a layered defense strategy. Keeping operating systems and applications updated, deploying robust endpoint security solutions, and configuring firewalls to restrict unauthorized communications are essential steps. User awareness training to recognize phishing attempts also plays a crucial role.
