Description
Wacatac is a heuristic detection name for trojan malware that covers a broad range of downloader and dropper behavior on Windows systems. Samples detected under this name typically arrive through phishing and malvertising, and they download follow on payloads such as stealers and backdoors. Because the name spans many campaigns, analysts should examine each detection's behavior and delivery chain individually.
