The Zscaler ThreatLabz researchers have discovered a new type of malware called JanelaRAT that steals financial and cryptocurrency data from compromised Microsoft Windows systems in Latin America.

The tool uses a DLL script to load a ZIP archive from the attackers’ server and drop a batch file used to establish persistence.

It also employs string encryption and transitions into an idle state for long periods of time, making it difficult to detect and trace back to the original owner of the malware.
