A new version of a powerful form of trojan malware is being offered on the dark web for free, with one cybersecurity company warning this could lead to a rise in attacks targeting passwords, bank details and other personal information, even by crooks with limited technical skills.

NanoCore RAT (Remote Access Trojan) first emerged in 2013 and continues to cause trouble for victims. Criminals could buy the malware for as little as $25, but versions of the software have also been leaked online throughout its development and now a new variant with additional, more dangerous, capabilities is being shared for free on a dark web forum.

Those operating NanoCore campaigns are provided with a user-friendly interface to help manage their activity – and make it simpler for low-level attackers to conduct attacks.

"Anytime an exploit kit or RAT kit is made available for free, it leads to an explosion of campaigns using the malware. We certainly expect to see more spin-off versions of the NanoCore RAT in the future, and predict most newer versions would continue to be tailored to amateur hackers," he added.
