Another Goddamn Malware Circus: Remcos RAT is Back, Because Why the Hell Not?

Oh, fantastic. Just when you thought the Internet couldn’t get any more infested with half-baked digital crap, here comes another multi‑stage malware campaign delivering the Remcos Remote Access Trojan like it’s handing out party invites at a hacker convention. Seriously, who thought mixing phishing emails, malicious attachments, and Windows was still a good idea in 2026? Apparently, the same bunch of cyber‑arseholes who never learned to stop using Word macros as a goddamn infection vector.

So, the lovely bastards behind this scheme are apparently using emails dressed up as innocent‑looking files to slip past your defenses. Victims—people who apparently open anything their Aunt Mabel forwards—end up running some sneaky multi‑stage crapware that drops Remcos RAT onto their systems. Once that’s in place, the crooks can spy, steal data, and do all sorts of nasty crap while you sit there wondering why your laptop sounds like it’s trying to contact Jupiter.

Remcos itself isn’t new—hell, it’s been around long enough to get a pension—but now these ass‑clowns are getting creative, using more sophisticated loaders, obfuscation, and anti‑analysis tricks to slip through defenses like a fart in a hurricane. The article basically screams: “Update your systems, check your attachments, and stop clicking on every bloody file someone sends you.” But nooooo, people won’t. Because apparently installing malware is the new national pastime.

Long story short: the Remcos RAT campaign is yet another reason I want to install a cattle prod in every idiot’s USB port. Patch your systems, turn off your macros, ditch shady emails—and for the love of silicon, stop being a walking security hole.

Reminds me of that one time a user called me saying their computer was “acting weird” after installing “a free screensaver.” Turns out, it wasn’t a screensaver—it was a goddamn keylogger farm. I reimaged the machine, changed all their passwords, and “accidentally” downgraded their permissions to ‘read‑only forever.’ Problem solved.
