NyashTeam is a Russian-speaking malware-as-a-service operator active since at least 2022 that markets and supports commodity malware for cybercriminal customers. The group is closely associated with the WebRAT brand and has been linked to the sale and operation of WebRAT/SalatStealer as well as DCRat (DarkCrystal RAT). Its business model includes reseller-style branding, customer support, and sales conducted through Telegram-based channels, indicating a service-oriented criminal ecosystem rather than a single closed intrusion set. NyashTeam’s flagship tooling combines remote-access trojan and infostealer functionality. WebRAT/SalatStealer has been observed targeting browser credentials, cookies, authentication tokens, cryptocurrency wallets, messaging applications, gaming platforms, and other locally stored secrets. Reported capabilities include keylogging, screen capture, webcam and microphone capture, remote shell access, file download, process control, SOCKS5 proxying, clipboard monitoring, persistence, self-deletion, and hidden-desktop interaction. The malware has also been described as using privilege-escalation and credential-access techniques including COM elevation abuse, token theft, LSASS targeting, and Microsoft Defender exclusion abuse. Operationally, NyashTeam has used resilient command-and-control approaches intended to complicate disruption and detection, including encrypted runtime configuration, DNS-over-HTTPS, WebSocket over TLS, QUIC/HTTP3 for exfiltration, and in some reporting TON DNS-based resolution for rotating command-and-control endpoints. Delivery has been associated with fake proof-of-concept repositories and weaponized Telegram distribution. Persistence mechanisms reported for its malware include Registry Run keys and scheduled tasks. The actor is assessed as originating from Russia or operating from Russian infrastructure, with reporting linking its operations to Russian-speaking operators and infrastructure in Russian cities. NyashTeam has been the subject of infrastructure disruption efforts, including takedowns affecting a large number of associated domains, but reporting indicates the group rebuilt infrastructure and continued operations afterward. Known aliases and associated branding include WebRAT. NyashTeam is best characterized as a financially motivated cybercrime service provider enabling credential theft, surveillance, and post-compromise access for customers and affiliates.
