Fileless PowerShell Loader Deploys Remcos RAT
Attack Chain Uses LNK Files, MSHTA and Memory Injection. PowerShell is becoming hackers’ new favorite tool since they can load code directly into computer memory and evade traditional file-based detection methods, warn security researchers. A combination of LNK-MSHTA-PowerShell offers a stealthy and effective path to execution.
