NodeSnake RAT is a custom remote access trojan associated with the Interlock ransomware group. Reported infections at two UK universities were linked by Quorum Cyber to Interlock based on source code similarities. The malware has persistence, reconnaissance, and command execution capabilities, and has been described as combining abuse of legitimate infrastructure with fileless execution and modular payloads. Reporting also states that Interlock has used NodeSnake RAT alongside Cobalt Strike and information stealers including Lumma Stealer and Berserk Stealer to harvest credentials, support lateral movement, and enable privilege escalation. High-confidence targeting mentioned in the content includes UK universities. No specific indicators of compromise are provided in the supplied content.
