HiatusRAT is a threat actor and associated malware operation known for targeting internet-exposed edge and embedded devices, particularly web cameras and DVRs. Public reporting links the actor to scanning activity for CVE-2017-7921 in a March 2024 campaign focused on Hikvision devices and similar surveillance infrastructure. The actor’s observed behavior demonstrates reconnaissance and scanning against exposed devices as part of efforts to identify and potentially compromise vulnerable systems. Based on the available facts, HiatusRAT is associated with campaigns against internet-connected surveillance and recording equipment, but the supplied information does not support higher-confidence attribution to a specific nation-state, broader victimology, or additional sub-groups and aliases beyond the HiatusRAT name itself.
