Radmin

By GoldSparrow in Malware

Radmin is an application classified as a malware and a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that has been infecting a computer to mine cryptocurrency and install other malware on the machines it infects. However, Radmin was found to be using Mimicatz, a threat that allows its admins to inject DLLs into scattered processes, export security certificates, recover plain text passwords from Windows, disable certain logins and security services, erase some privileges and evade a few Group Policy settings, therefore making it possible the collection of crucial data besides the illicit cryptocurrency mining.

The Radmin payload is downloaded remotely and delivered via a command sent by Radmin to the infected computer. This is what allows the entrance of other commutable malware. Radmin also interferes with the machine's performance due to its use of the computer's resources to execute its mining task. Therefore, Radmin endangers the computer user data end the machine's health because the excessive use of its resources will weaken it and even make it crash. It is clear why security researchers are against the presence of Radmin and any program related to it in a computer. Infected computer users should take measures to remove Radmin quickly.
