Context
According to PCrisk, Dacls is the name of a remote access Trojan (RAT), a malicious program that allows cyber criminals to control infected computers remotely. Research shows that this malware is tied to Lazarus Group (a group of cyber criminals) and targets Linux and the Windows Operating System. Typically, cyber criminals use RATs to steal sensitive, confidential information, infect systems with other malware, and so on. In any case, no RAT is harmless and should be uninstalled immediately.
