Summary

Hide ▲

The SilabRAT MaaS operation is now offering a session-hijacking remote access trojan that can drain cryptocurrency and bypass password and MFA checks, expanding the risk from stolen logins to direct wallet theft. It uses HVNC and browser-profile cloning so attackers can revive a victim's live session on another machine. Operators are spreading it with email spam and ClickFix lures. The toolkit also includes keylogging, clipboard capture, and TightVNC, making the malware useful for both account abuse and wallet draining.

    Group-IB details SilabRAT session-hijacking crypto theft

    Initial Disclosure

    Group-IB detailed SilabRAT, a remote access trojan sold on dark web forums since late 2025 as a $5000/month malware-as-a-service offering by the Russian-speaking actor o1oo1, describing how it hijacks victims' logged-in browser sessions to bypass passwords and MFA while draining cryptocurrency. The malware combines HVNC, browser-profile cloning, a Target.dll file-call hook, COM-elevation to bypass Chrome's App-Bound Encryption, clipboard clipping, keylogging, TightVNC access, persistence via registry keys or scheduled tasks, and distribution through email spam and ClickFix lures; antivirus tools often label it as HijackLoader, and one operator claimed more than 90% of infected machines stayed online across a month-long campaign.
