Researchers have identified a new malware called JS.MonoGlyphRAT, which disguises itself as business documents to infiltrate corporate networks. It is primarily spread through phishing emails targeting various sectors in the U.S. and has been reported in countries like Germany, Sweden, and Australia. The malware is classified as "Unknown malware" on threat intelligence platforms, making traditional antivirus solutions ineffective. It establishes a persistent presence in the network by executing a JavaScript file and communicating with command-and-control (C2) servers over HTTP. Key indicators of compromise include unusual HTTP traffic, registry changes, and the execution of specific JavaScript files. The malware can download additional payloads and execute commands without leaving traces on disk. Indicators of compromise include specific IP addresses, URLs, file hashes, and registry keys associated with the malware's operation.
