Talos Takes Ep. #48: The complete history of ObliqueRAT
Summary: Cisco Talos released episode 48 of its Talos Takes podcast, featuring researcher Asheer Malhotra discussing the ObliqueRAT trojan he has researched and written about for several months. Talos says the malware has evolved over the past year or so to add new evasion techniques and find ways to avoid email filters and usual antivirus protections.
Why it matters: ObliqueRAT's year-long evolution of evasion techniques and filter avoidance means the email and antivirus controls an organization relies on may no longer catch what these actors distribute through spam and malicious documents.
