What DattoRMM Does

DattoRMM is a malware family observed delivering malicious payloads to Windows systems. Samples in this family typically steal credentials, establish persistence, or enable remote access for attackers.

Seeing this family on your network — or finding a file matching this hash — is a red flag. DattoRMM samples are typically distributed through phishing emails, malvertising, fake software downloads, or cracked installers. Once executed, the malware usually establishes persistence on the host, harvests credentials and sensitive data, and establishes an outbound channel to command-and-control infrastructure operated by the attackers.

Indicators of Compromise

If you're hunting for this sample or related DattoRMM activity, here are the concrete indicators to feed into your SIEM, EDR, or host-based searches:

How to Check If You're Affected

  1. Search your endpoint logs for the SHA-256 f58cb609fb798117ad61bcfbcea69a7284d43468b61f1274cbf58759c3e366ab. Most EDR platforms support historical hash searches across all monitored hosts.
  2. Check for the filename TrueView.exe in recently downloaded files, email attachments, and installer bundles.
  3. Look for outbound connections to uncommon TLDs or newly registered domains — DattoRMM typically beacons to command-and-control infrastructure shortly after execution.
  4. Review scheduled tasks and registry run keys — this family commonly establishes persistence through standard Windows autorun locations.
  5. Run an updated AV or EDR scan across potentially affected hosts. Because this sample is already in public threat intel feeds, current signatures should flag it.

What to Do If You Find It

If you find evidence of this sample or related activity on your systems:

  1. Isolate the affected host from the network immediately to prevent lateral movement.
  2. Capture memory and disk images before rebooting. Reboots destroy critical forensic evidence, especially in RAM.
  3. Rotate credentials that may have been exposed — browser-saved passwords, VPN credentials, SSH keys, and any service accounts used on the affected host. DattoRMM frequently targets these.
  4. Check for secondary payloads. DattoRMM is often a stepping stone for additional malware including ransomware or banking trojans.
  5. Report the incident to your security team. For larger organizations, consider notifying your regional CERT.
