FatalRAT has significant re-purposing potential for intellectual property theft, corporate espionage, and disruption in sectors like government, finance, and technology. Its ability to evade detection and exploit vulnerabilities means it could easily target other industries globally. This makes it a growing threat, as it can be adjusted to target regions and sectors outside of its current focus.

Given its evolving nature, FatalRAT poses a major risk not just to Chinese-speaking targets, but to global organizations. Its capabilities underline the critical need for robust cybersecurity and proactive threat defenses to protect against such highly adaptable threats.
