Cyber attackers use images & built-in tools to bypass defences

HP Wolf Security’s research reveals that cyber attackers are refining established tactics, such as “living-off-the-land” techniques, to evade security measures. Attackers are using legitimate tools, combining system binaries, and embedding malicious code in images to bypass traditional security filters. The report highlights the challenges faced by security professionals in detecting these sophisticated attacks and emphasizes the importance of a defense-in-depth approach.
