Malware Masterpiece: Bitmap Steganography Strikes Again!
In a shocking twist, the art of steganography is back, but not in your granddad’s spy kit. Threat actors are hiding malware in bitmap resources within 32-bit .NET applications. This sneaky method cleverly bypasses security measures, making it a stealthy weapon in malspam campaigns. Keep an eye out—bitmaps are watching you!
Key Points:
- Malware is being hidden using steganography within bitmap resources in 32-bit .NET applications.
- Upon execution, a multi-stage chain activates, leading to the final payload execution.
- The campaign targets industries like finance in Türkiye and logistics in Asia.
- Multiple layers of obfuscation make reverse engineering a tall order.
- Palo Alto Networks offers solutions to detect and mitigate these threats.
