Why Do Rats Take Revenge?

Rats are known for taking revenge against humans. Usually, unprovoked attacks are directed at young children or bed-confined elders, although they may also target homeless individuals. The reasons for such attacks are not always clear, but some researchers believe they may be attracted by the food residue left on these individuals when they sleep. Norway rats are not particularly large or blind, but they do have the ability to detect human presence. Moreover, they are not affected by above-ground street construction practices. If they find a suitable sewer system, they will not leave it.

In addition, the researchers have found that rats can remember the quality of the assistance given to them, and adapt their behaviour to provide assistance in return. They also found that rats are more likely to help a partner if the latter has previously helped them. This is a great insight into how animals make decisions when they are motivated by reciprocation.

In addition to this, Revenge RAT malware has evolved and has become stealthier. It has also improved its support infrastructure and delivery techniques. The malware can now access microphones, webcams, and other utilities, enabling threat actors to steal personal information or distribute other malware.
