JLORAT
JLORAT is a Rust-written backdoor initially described by Kaspersky in April 2023 and associated at that time with the Tomiris threat actor. Reporting in the provided content also links JLORAT infrastructure and lineage to Hydra Saiga (also referred to as Yorotrooper, ShadowSilk, and Silent Lynx), citing overlap with Tomiris-associated infrastructure and similarities with the related Telemiris malware family. The implant appears to have been in use since at least 2022 and is described as having undergone virtually no significant changes over time. Its documented capabilities include taking screenshots, executing console commands, and uploading files from an infected system to command-and-control infrastructure. The broader campaigns in which JLORAT is referenced targeted government, diplomatic, intergovernmental, energy, and critical infrastructure entities, particularly in Central Asia, Russia, Europe, and the Middle East, using spear-phishing and malicious archives as common initial access mechanisms. The provided content does not include specific JLORAT hashes, domains, or IP indicators, but notes Kaspersky detection as HEUR:Trojan.Win32.TJLORT.a.
