Description	Pikabot is a malicious backdoor that has been active since early 2023. The malware is modular with a loader and a core component that implements the majority of the functionality. Pikabot is capable of receiving commands from a command-and-control server such as the injection of arbitrary shellcode, DLLs or executable files. Zscaler Threatlabz has observed Pikabot being used to distribute Cobalt Strike. Pikabot shares similarities with the Qakbot trojan including the distribution methods, campaigns, and malware behaviors.
