Malware is evolving fast. Your defenses should too.  OPSWAT’s 2025 Threat Landscape Report breaks down what 890,000+ sandbox scans revealed about today’s evasive, modular malware—and why traditional tools aren’t keeping up.  Download the full report: https://hubs.la/Q03FX39s0

Key takeaways for me: 1) Archives and PDFs are the most common formats for a embedding malware - if you thought PDFs were static files, think again. 2) .Net artifacts and fileless malware delivers smaller chaining scripts that bypass traditional signature based security. 3) Utilising trusted infrastructure from known SaaS providers to hide C2 traffic for attacks, making attack traffic harder to spot. Lots of other really interesting insights into how modern threats are adapting and how traditional static analysis isn't sufficient in the modern security landscape. A good read for any Cyber Security Professional - next time you're waiting for the kettle to boil. #TrustNoFile #TrustNoDevice #CyberSecurity

🔥 Nearly half of orgs failed password-cracking tests in 2025 (up from last year). Once inside? Attackers succeed in 98% of cases using valid accounts—slipping past defenses unnoticed. The weakest link isn’t malware. It’s your passwords. Read the report → https://lnkd.in/gcTvA3hG

Recommended Defenses Enforce strong password policies and complexity requirements. Replace outdated hashing algorithms with secure alternatives. Implement MFA for all users, especially sensitive accounts. Conduct regular simulated attacks to validate credential defenses. Improve behavioral detection for lateral movement and credential misuse. Monitor outbound traffic and strengthen data loss prevention (DLP) measures.

Stacking can serve as a powerful intrusion analysis technique. And in today's video, Andrew Prince shows you how this technique can be used to uncover malicious artifacts in your environment. Watch the video to see how stacking can give you an edge in the fight against malware. 🛡️https://lnkd.in/ghCSrqk9
