PoetRAT is an espionage-focused threat actor identified in 2020 and associated with campaigns targeting Azerbaijani embassies and other government agencies. The actor has used spearphishing attachments for initial access and has deployed Python- and .NET-based tooling to support collection and exfiltration. Documented capabilities include keylogging through a Python tool and exfiltration of stolen information over email using a .NET utility, indicating an operational focus on credential and information theft from diplomatic and government targets. PoetRAT is also noted for tradecraft and victimology similarities with YoroTrooper, including the use of Python-based implants and open-source tools, though available information does not support a confident attribution link between the two. No high-confidence public evidence in the supplied facts establishes PoetRAT’s country of origin.

Espionage actor previously observed (2020) compromising Azerbaijan embassies and government agencies; discussed here due to similarities with YoroTrooper in victimology and TTPs (use of open-source credential exfiltration/recon and Python-based implants), but with no confirmed linkage.
Uses a Python tool named klog.exe for keylogging.
Referenced as a procedure example for exfiltration over an alternative protocol.
