This blog explores a macOS phishing campaign that leverages social engineering, AppleScript loaders, and attempted abuse of the macOS’ TCC feature to gain privileged access. It highlights a broader trend: attackers increasingly exploit user trust rather than system vulnerabilities, using staged payload delivery and persistence techniques to maintain long‑term access.

his blog details how to unpack malware like SnappyBee, a modular backdoor linked to Salt Typhoon, revealing its custom packing, DLL sideloading, dynamic API resolution, and multi‑stage in‑memory decryption. It provides analysts with a step‑by‑step guide to extract hidden payloads and understand advanced evasion techniques by sophisticated malware strains.

This year, organizations have been racing to implement generative and agentic AI tools at a breakneck pace. Darktrace asked over 1,500 security leaders about how they’re navigating these rapid technology shifts – and the challenges and opportunities enterprise AI presents.

Darktrace detected a potential ClearFake‑related incident involving signs of EtherHiding activity and interactions with blockchain‑based infrastructure. A single device showed repeated suspicious command‑line behavior, primarily involving Microsoft HTML Application Host. The activity occurred over the course of a day and indicated early‑stage attempts to load malicious content associated with the ClearFake campaign.

Financial institutions are facing a threat landscape shaped by identity-led intrusion, pre-disclosure exploitation, data-first ransomware, and growing cloud and AI governance blind spots. This blog explores the key threats and trends redefining cyber risk across the finance sector and what defenders must adapt to next.

ダークトレースは、北朝鮮に関係すると思われる、韓国のユーザーを標的としたJSEベースのスピアフィッシングによる攻撃キャンペーンを検知しました。攻撃者は政府機関を装ったおとり文書を使ってVS Codeトンネルを展開し、信頼されるMicrosoftインフラ経由で隠れたリモートアクセスを可能にしました。この攻撃は、正規のツールを悪用して検知を免れ、永続的アクセスを維持しようとする攻撃の増加を裏付けています。

This blog breaks down how attackers rapidly weaponized the React2Shell vulnerability, with a particular focus on cloud‑native financial environments. Drawing on Darktrace’s honeypot research, it explores emerging threat actor tooling, exploitation timelines, and why behavioral‑anomaly‑led security is critical in today’s cloud landscape.

クラウドセキュリティはこれまで予防、ポスチャ管理、設定にかなりの重点が置かれてきました。しかし実際の攻撃はそこでは発生しません。 攻撃はランタイムにおいて、稼働中のワークロードやアイデンティティにわたって進行していきますが、そこでは可視性が限られており証拠が短時間で消滅します。 このブログではランタイムが保護すべき最もクリティカルなレイヤーである理由、動的なクラウドの挙動を攻撃者がどのように悪用しているか、なぜポスチャベースだけでは不十分かを紹介します。

Darktrace researchers observed threat actors exploiting reports of Venezuelan President Maduro’s arrest to deliver backdoor malware. Attackers often use ongoing world events make their malicious content appear more credible, increasingly the likelihood of a successful attack.

Medusa ransomware increasingly exploits remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools for persistence, lateral movement, and data exfiltration. This blog explores Medusa’s tactics, real-world detections, and how anomaly-based solutions with Autonomous Response can stop attacks.

This influential southern European bank has strengthened its cyber resilience with Darktrace, unifying its risk landscape, reducing manual effort, and empowering teams to proactively prioritize and mitigate exposures with confidence.

毎年、ダークトレースのエキスパート達は、日々発生するインシデント、脆弱性、ニュースの動きを客観的に振り返り、脅威ランドスケープを形作るさまざまな力について考察することにより、これからの1年で最も重要になると思われるトレンドを調べ、発表しています。2026年に対する私たちの予測は次の通りです。

Modern data loss doesn’t always look like a regex match. It can look like everyday communication slightly out of context. Here’s how a domain specific language model paired with behavioral learning protects labeled and unlabeled data without slowing business down.

During a customer trial of Darktrace / EMAIL and Darktrace / IDENTITY, Darktrace detected an adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) attack that compromised a user’s Office 365 account via a business email compromise (BEC) phishing email. Following the breach, the compromised account was used to launch both internal and external phishing campaigns.

Darktrace observed opportunistic exploitation of the React2Shell vulnerability within minutes of honeypot deployment. Attackers leveraged shell scripts, HTTP beaconing, and cryptomining activity, highlighting rapid adaptation to unpatched flaws.

Atomic Stealer is rapidly emerging as a significant macOS threat, using infostealing and backdoor capabilities to target Apple users worldwide. Darktrace observed campaigns in 24 countries, detecting activity across multiple kill chain stages and providing recommended actions to contain attacks.

Darktrace is delivering a major evolution in email security, uniting true AI-powered cross-domain detection, label-free behavioral DLP, and Microsoft-native automation – to catch the 17% of threats that SEGs miss.
