How phishers are weaponizing SVG images in zero-click, evasive campaigns
Innovative, evasive, and targeted campaigns: Researchers pointed out that traditional endpoint detection, antivirus tools, and even email filters struggle to spot this threat because image files like SVGs are rarely considered dangerous. Compared to previous SVG-based attacks that used hosted payloads, this method keeps everything self-contained, further slipping past defenses.Victims span B2B service providers, utilities,…
