Shadow Vector Malware Exploits SVG Images to Deliver RATs
Source: Shadow Vector Malware Uses SVG Images to Deliver AsyncRAT and RemcosRAT Payloads (2025-06-24)
Shadow Vector Malware is leveraging SVG images to covertly deliver remote access trojans (RATs) like AsyncRAT and RemcosRAT. This innovative technique allows cybercriminals to bypass traditional security measures and execute malicious payloads through seemingly harmless image files. Security experts warn that this method increases the sophistication of cyber attacks, making detection more challenging. Organizations are advised to enhance their defenses against such tactics and monitor for unusual activity related to SVG files and remote access tools.
