The Weekly Breach Breakdown Podcast: The Rat Race – Phishing Attack Installs RATs – S6E28
Update: 2025-09-11
Description
Welcome to the Identity Theft Resource Center's (ITRC) Weekly Breach Breakdown for September 12, 2025. I'm Tatiana Cuadras, Communications Assistant for the ITRC. Thanks to Sentilink for supporting the ITRC and this podcast. Each week, we look at the most recent events and trends related to data security and privacy. Today, we are going to talk about rats – not those medium-sized rodents, but rather different types of rats: remote access trojans.
A rat can be many different things. It can be the furry rodents that some consider pests and others have as pets. It can also be a term to describe a deceitful person. Some may have heard the term “The Rat Race”, which is a metaphor for the cycle of competition for money, power and status in the pursuit of wealth and success – also a great movie from the 1960s.
