New Python Remote Access Trojan Includes Screensharing Feature

/ 1 min read

New Python RAT Discovered with Screensharing Capability. A recently identified Python Remote Access Trojan (RAT) features a unique “screenshare” command, leveraging the outdated yet effective “vidstream” library. Although the script has been available for two years and has a low VirusTotal score of 3/64, it allows attackers to take control of a victim’s computer, including capturing screenshots and sharing screens in real-time. This highlights Python’s continued popularity among cybercriminals, even in Windows environments.
