Warzone RAT Sales and Support Actors in Malta and Nigeria Charged in U.S. Federal Indictments

The U.S. Department of Justice, with international partners, seized domains associated with selling the Warzone RAT and unsealed indictments against individuals in Malta and Nigeria for allegedly distributing and supporting the malware, which enabled covert access to victim systems for data theft and surveillance. The FBI confirmed the RAT’s malicious functions through covert purchase and analysis, and coordinated with multiple countries to secure servers hosting its infrastructure while pursuing extradition and prosecutions.
