Such data that is collected by NJRat may be accessed by remote hackers, which could then lead to cases of identity theft.

One of the more discerning aspects of NJRat is that it could download other malicious programs on the infected computer, which include ransomware-type threats or other unknown malware that perform malevolent activates over the Internet.

Fundamentally, malicious actions of Trojan.NJRat vary and are all in an attempt to wreak havoc on a computer and potentially steal personal information.

The installation of NJRat may take place through spam campaigns that spread spam messages that contain malicious file attachments. Many of the file attachments may be in the form of MS office documents, PDF files, ZIP files, and even executables that appear to be harmless to most computer users. Avoiding the installation of NJRat may be as simple as paying special attention to attachment files or avoid potentially malicious sites that may offer downloaded third-party apps.

The removal of NJRat is a difficult task in most cases for even the savvy computer user.
