Beware of ZenRAT Malware: Fake Password Manager Targets Windows Users
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Hacker News
A new strain of malware called ZenRAT is targeting Windows users through fake installation packages of the Bitwarden password manager. The malware is a modular remote access trojan (RAT) with information stealing capabilities. It is distributed via fake websites posing as Bitwarden and redirects non-Windows users to benign pages. The payload contains a trojanized version of the Bitwarden installation package. ZenRAT gathers host details and transmits them to a command-and-control server operated by the threat actors. Users are advised to download software from trusted sources and verify website authenticity.
