TerminalFix: PNG Steganography, (Mon, Sep 21st)

This article highlights a malware campaign that hides executable payloads inside PNG images using steganography, showing how attackers are evolving to bypass traditional security controls and content filters. For CIOs and technology leaders, the business risk is clear: seemingly benign media files can now deliver loaders and DLLs that support sideloading and deeper intrusion, increasing the likelihood of undetected compromise and operational disruption. IT organizations should treat image files as potential delivery vehicles and ensure their detection, forensic, and sandboxing capabilities can inspect embedded content, not just file type and metadata.
