Fileless Remcos Malware Spreads via LNK Files and Uses PowerShell for In-Memory Attacks
Technology
The fileless Remcos malware is spreading through LNK files and using PowerShell for in-memory attacks to steal sensitive data. This method exploits PowerShell's capabilities to execute commands without leaving traces on the disk, making detection more difficult. LNK files are used to launch malicious scripts via MSHTA, enabling the execution of arbitrary code. This technique allows attackers to bypass traditional security mechanisms and compromise systems stealthily.
