Researchers agree that the trend of fileless malware attacks is increasing, so how easy is it to spot and identify?
Kaspersky Lab’s Global Research & Analysis Team spotted something unusual recently: more than 140 global enterprises have been hit by ‘fileless attack’ where threat actors use anti-forensic techniques to evade detection.
Not very well, you may say, as Kaspersky managed to detect them. However, glib remarks aside, these incidents point to a seriously worrying threat scenario used by advanced actors to exfiltrate data before they are spotted.
