Criminals have been spotted targeting Chinese enterprises with an advanced Remote Access Trojan (RAT), capable of taking over infected Windows endpoints.

Researchers at FortiGuard call the threat ValleyRAT, and claim its operators are on the hunt for ecommerce, finance, sales, and management enterprises. Initial access is most likely done through phishing, where crooks share loaders disguised as Microsoft Office files.
