TAG-140’s DRAT V2 malware upgrade offers a substantial improvement over its initial version.

The new DRAT V2 variant raises significant concerns due to its enhanced operational capabilities, evolved targeting strategy, and improved evasion techniques, which collectively increase its threat to critical infrastructure and national security. DRAT V2 is the latest variant of the DRAT (Delphi Remote Access Trojan) malware, recently identified in a TAG-140 campaign targeting Indian government and critical infrastructure organizations. TAG-140, linked to the SideCopy subgroup and Transparent Tribe (APT36), is known for its evolving and diverse malware arsenal.
