What Is Remote Access Trojan (RAT)?
Malware that gives an attacker full remote control of the victim's device.
A RAT is usually installed via a trojan and lets the attacker control the device as if sitting in front of it - viewing the screen, activating the camera/microphone, stealing files, or installing further malware, usually without the victim noticing.
