PINHOLE RAT: Advanced Malware Using High-Reputation Platforms as DDRs

August 25, 2026

PINHOLE is an advanced remote access trojan that abuses FTP banners and uses high-reputation platforms like Pinterest and SurveyMonkey as dead drop resolvers. It proxies communication through Cloudflare Workers and employs Halo's Gate and Early Bird APC Injection to evade detection. The RAT features 14 commands for file operations, process management, screenshots, and PowerShell execution.
