Attackers using Smoke Loader to propagate in a new campaign

With cyber threats becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated, attackers are constantly evolving their techniques to bypass traditional security measures. In a recent development, security researchers have uncovered a new campaign in which attackers are leveraging Smoke Loader as part of their propagation strategy.

What is Smoke Loader and how does it work?

Smoke Loader is a sophisticated malware loader known for its ability to deliver additional malware payloads onto infected systems. It is usually distributed via spam emails, malicious websites, or exploit kits, and once executed, it downloads and installs additional malware onto the compromised system.

How are attackers combining Smoke Loader in this new campaign?

In this new campaign, attackers are combining Smoke Loader with other malware variants to maximize their impact. By leveraging Smoke Loader as an initial infection vector, attackers can gain a foothold on the target system and then deploy additional malware payloads, such as ransomware or banking trojans, to carry out their malicious activities.
