GHOSTPULSE Malware Evolves to Evade Detection - 7d

The GHOSTPULSE malware, also known as HIJACKLOADER or IDATLOADER, has significantly evolved its tactics to bypass detection. Researchers have discovered that the malware is now hiding its encrypted configuration and payload within the pixel structure of image files, making it extremely difficult for traditional security solutions to detect. This method of hiding malicious code within seemingly innocuous image files is a highly sophisticated evasion technique and poses a serious threat to organizations, highlighting the ever-evolving nature of cyberattacks. This evolution highlights the importance of advanced threat intelligence and constantly updating security solutions to effectively combat the evolving tactics of malware creators.
