ReverseRAT is a remote access Trojan (RAT) for Windows. Like other RATs, it can give an operator remote control of an infected system; depending on how it is used, it may also support collecting files or credentials. The name alone does not establish which functions were used or whether a particular computer was compromised.
RATs matter because unauthorized remote access can expose data and allow further activity on a system. They may arrive through phishing attachments or links and run after a user opens a deceptive file. Defenders can investigate suspicious email and shortcut-file activity, unusual launches of utilities such as mshta.exe, unexpected Registry Run-key entries, and suspicious outbound connections. Correlating these signals helps distinguish a real intrusion from an isolated alert.
