KUWAIT CITY, June 30: In January 2019, OmniRAT, a spyware was used in a campaign against collaborators of the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC), using an Excel document that was disguised to trick the recipients into believing it really comes from the KPC, reports Al-Rai daily quoting technadu.com

The national oil company of Kuwait, which also happens to be one of the world’s largest, was enraged by this, and so they demanded the identity of the OmniRAT developer from the registrar of “omnirat.eu”, and a powerful corporation like KPC cannot be easily denied this information, Following this, the OmniRAT website was taken down in an effort to prevent the disclosure of the identity of the developer.
