IOCs in my OTX feed for this threat have been attached here.

Updated – 2nd June 2020:

I recently discovered the OZH RAT #crimware website, which is written in Turkish. The #malware has an exceptionally low detection rating on VirusTotal with only two of 72 antivirus engines detecting it as malicious.

– Lock computer screen 

– Shutdown/Reboot 

– Message Alert box

– Find geo-location

– Clone system 

– Control Panel notification when the infected device is turned on

– FTP communication
