Why Govt Demands Foreign CCTV Firms to Submit Source Code?

ElizaRAT was initially identified in 2023, and since then, it has evolved significantly by incorporating advanced features.The infection chain of ElizaRAT begins with “phishing emails” containing malicious “CPL” files distributed via “Google Storage links.”

It establishes persistence by creating a “unique victim ID,” “setting up working directories in %appdata%,” and deploying secondary payloads like “ApoloStealer.”

      Infection Chain (Source – CheckPoint)

The Checkpoint report states that this stealer component targets sensitive file types (“.doc,” “.pdf,” “.ppt,” “.xls”) and performs “systematic data exfiltration” via encrypted channels.

The malware employs sophisticated evasion techniques like:-

Time zone verification checks for India Standard Time.
Maintains reliability via various C2 communication methods.
Ranging from Slack API calls to Google Cloud Storage service account authentication using X.509 certificates.
Each campaign variant illustrates increasingly sophisticated capabilities while maintaining the core objective of persistent data theft from targeted “Indian institutions.” ‘ConnectX’ is a USB-targeting malware component within the ElizaRAT ecosystem.
