For anyone that doesn't know what a RAT is

it's software hackers use to have full access to your computer.

It's called being ratted.

Lots of computers are comp'd because of this simple software.

They attach the install program to a seemingly innocent file-

then when the victim opens the file, it auto-installs the software under the radar.

You might never know you've been ratted.

But the hacker on the other end of it can use your camera, microphone, can put keyloggers on your machine, harass you, steal your files.

Anything you can do yourself on your computer, the RAT software allows the hacker to do.

It's pretty common.

RAT = Remote Administration Tool

It's just like remote desktop.

This is one major reason why it's dangerous to download stuff off the internet.

Don't fall for honeypots, my dudes.

I'm probably too late for some of you, but get yourself educated on cybersecurity.

RATs have been a thing for a LOOOONNNNG time.

This hard drive dump stinks of rats.

Maybe some astute Anon can download it on a virtual OS and run some tests to ensure it's not crawling with RAT style software, but for now I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT TOUCH THIS

that is all

If you get ratted, you fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book.

And you should be very embarrassed by it.

Your life could be over very shortly, depending on what info is saved on your computer.

And btw they spread like a disease.

The hacker could attach RAT software to something you're about to share and then whoever you send it to gets ratted too.

Take it from me, I've had to start my whole life over because of a RAT.

They're no joke.

Bank accounts, login information, phone numbers, pictures, videos, music, vital info like SSN, all your stuff is vulnerable.

USE YOUR BRAIN

doesn't matter.

You can put the RAT on any file

If you downloaded it, and are worried about it, revert to a restore point prior to downloading it.

And do it soon before they delete your restore points.

Number one reason I set it up to auto save restore points every single night.

It's not about your computer, it's about your data.

Address, phone number, your kids' info, your family's info, SSN, bank account shit, files, email logins, … … … it's your life they're after, not your computer
