VectraRAT Malware-as-a-Service Lets Hackers Bypass UAC and Hijack Windows Systems

New VectraRAT malware-as-a-service at $250/month combines RAT capabilities, credential theft, clipboard hijacking, and a UACME-based UAC bypass; 38 victims observed.

VectraRAT is a previously undocumented MaaS platform with a Go-based VectraHub Linux C2 server embedding a Vue3 operator panel and a C++ Windows implant, rented from $250/month and linked to the aliases Vectra and Nyxel. It communicates over TCP port 3308 via a proprietary MessagePack protocol, steals browser and file-based credentials, and abuses UACME method 41 with debug-object handle hijacking via winver.exe and computerdefaults.exe. SOCRadar identified 38 live victim sessions in one week, 48% on corporate Windows editions, with delivery via the Amadey loader and ClickFix pages impersonating TurboTax.

Luciferus Uncensored AI Service Lets Cybercriminals Generate RAT Malware

Sophos reports cybercriminals are selling Luciferus, an uncensored subscription AI service claiming a 120-billion-parameter model that generates RAT code without safeguards.

Sophos Counter Threat Unit observed a user named Optimus_Prime advertising the Luciferus uncensored AI service on August 24, claiming a proprietary 120-billion-parameter model offering unrestricted coding assistance, with tiers priced at $35, $55, and $75. The public website shows different pricing ($22 to $47.14), and Sophos speculates with low confidence the service may be based on Alibaba's Qwen rather than a truly proprietary model. Researchers documented the Junior tier generating a basic Python RAT with network communication and command-execution functionality, though the code was not tested. The service follows the commercialization trend of WormGPT and FraudGPT in cybercriminal ecosystems.

Tajin Group: Guarantee Marketplace Vendor Involved in Phishing and Chinese Money Laundering Group

Recorded Future details Tajin Group, a Chinese-speaking vendor on Telegram guarantee marketplaces running phishing, carding, and money laundering operations targeting Chinese banks.

Insikt Group analyzed Tajin Group, a Chinese-speaking threat actor operating on Telegram-based guarantee marketplaces Dabai Guarantee and, since May 2026, Xinbi Guarantee. The group conducts phishing, payment card theft, and money laundering targeting mainland Chinese citizens and banks, testing stolen cards from twelve countries on platforms like CCAvenue and Geidea. Operators bought and sold at least 100 Telegram usernames and anonymous virtual numbers via Fragment Market to strengthen OPSEC, linking multiple usernames to single Telegram accounts. Recorded Future warns Tajin Group's TTPs are likely to be replicated by other vendors on Chinese-language guarantee marketplaces at global scale.
