Trend Analysis: Stealthy Remote Access Trojans

Modern cyber adversaries have moved far beyond the era of conspicuous file deletions and loud system crashes, opting instead for a silent, ghost-like presence within high-value corporate networks. The radical transformation of Remote Access Trojans (RATs) marks a shift from rudimentary administrative tools to weaponized instruments of near-invisible espionage. In this landscape where data serves as the primary currency, the

Why Are ICS Vulnerabilities Surging as Oversight Declines?

The global infrastructure landscape currently faces a paradox where industrial connectivity accelerates at breakneck speeds while the centralized oversight intended to protect it visibly retreats. For years, the security of Industrial Control Systems relied on physical isolation and proprietary protocols that kept threats at bay. However, the modern industrial environment now grapples with a record-breaking surge in vulnerabilities alongside a

Trend Analysis: Reverse Proxy Phishing Infrastructure

The era of the simple, static fake login page has vanished, replaced by a sophisticated and dynamic middleman architecture that renders traditional “look-before-you-click” advice effectively obsolete. As security teams have fortified the perimeter with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), the criminal underground has responded by industrializing the bypass of these very defenses. This shift is not merely a technical adjustment; it represents
