The most notable feature of T-RAT 2.0 is that it can be controlled using the Telegram app.

Apparently, here’s what T-RAT 2.0 can do to your system, once it infects it:

• Retrieve cookies and passwords from your browser
• Grant the attacker full access to your file system
• Perform audio recordings (requires an audio input device such as a microphone)
• Log your keystrokes
• Disable your Taskbar
• Use your webcam to perform video recordings or take pictures
• Fetch clipboard content
• Snap screenshots of your current view
• Disable your Task Manager
• Hijack transactions for several services, including Ripple, Dogecoin, Qiwi, and Yandex.Money
• Execute CMD & PowerShell commands
• Restrict your access to various websites and services
• Forcefully terminate processes on your computer
• Use RDP and/or VNC to perform additional remote control operations

More so, it’s compatible with most Chromium-based browsers (v80 and up), and its Stealer component supports the following apps:

• Steam
• Telegram
• Skype
• Viber
• FileZilla XML
• NordVPN
• Discord
