Fortra Intelligence and Research Experts (FIRE) are tracking a previously unseen threat campaign abusing Datto’s legitimate RMM platform as a stealthy command‑and‑control channel. By routing attacker traffic through the legitimate Datto infrastructure, threat actors gain full, persistent remote access to victim systems while evading standard network and endpoint defenses.
For businesses, the impact could be severe: undetected access enables data theft, lateral movement, and ransomware staging, all masked as normal IT activity. The campaign is actively maintained, uses weekly‑recompiled malware, and underscores a growing risk – attackers weaponizing trusted enterprise tools to make compromise effectively invisible.
