Neptune RAT Variant Spreads via YouTube to Steal Windows Passwords hackread.com/neptune-r…

A new Neptune RAT variant is being shared via YouTube and Telegram, targeting Windows users to steal passwords and deliver additional malware components.

Neptune RAT is written in Visual Basic .NET and is designed to take control of a victim’s Windows computer. Although its creator says the software is provided for “educational and ethical purposes,” the tool’s capabilities suggest otherwise.

Designed to steal user credentials, replace cryptocurrency wallet addresses, and even lock files with ransomware features, Neptune RAT gives attackers comprehensive control over an infected system.
