Law Enforcement Shuts Down Imminent Monitor Malware, Makes Arrests

Law enforcement agencies shut down Imminent Monitor Remote Access Trojan (RAT) and have arrested 13 of its most prolific users. Over 430 devices and the software’s website imminentmethods.net were seized. RATs are known to be used by attackers as part of malware campaigns. It is not known if the developer of IM-RAT was arrested. The software was sold by a developer using the alias Shockwave since 2013 for as little as $25, which included support for setting it up and using it.
