| 25 Aug 2026, 7:33 PM | The Hacker News | 3.0 | E4del and PINHOLE RATs Turn FTP Banners Into Dead Drops for Malware Commands
Security researchers have documented the first in-the-wild use of FTP server welcome banners as dead drop resolvers to deliver two new RATs called E4del and PINHOLE. E4del is a Node.js-based RAT hidden inside a digitally signed Electron app masquerading as Discord, delivered via a multi-stage chain involving Spanish-language voucher lures, LNK files, WebDAV, and PowerShell. Why: Most builders don't need to change anything based on this. The only actionable detail is that E4del hides in a signed Electron binary posing as Discord—if you distribute Electron apps or manage endpoint allow-listing, note that code-signing alone is no longer sufficient to trust a binary. The FTP-banner C2 technique is novel but less stealthy than web-based DDRs and likely to be flagged by network controls. |
