Threat actors continually seek different ways to evade detection, and among those techniques is using malware hidden in images or photos. ESET Research spotted this technique being used by the Worok cyberespionage group, who hid malicious code in image files, only taking specific pixel information from them to extract a payload to execute. Read our new article to learn more.

Malware hiding in pictures? More likely than you think Malware code hidden in images is a form of steganography, used to evade the detection of malware by security software. In itself, it's not harmful, but it can cause a lot of duress when paired with an appropriate vulnerability or extractor.

It’s been another monumental year in cybersecurity. Threat actors thrived against a backdrop of continued macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, using all the tools and ingenuity at their disposal to make their way past corporate defenses. For consumers, it was another year spent anxiously clicking through the headlines to see if their personal information had been impacted.

According to Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), external actors are responsible for the vast majority (83%) of breaches, and financial gain accounts for almost all (95%) breaches. That’s why most of the incidents featured in this list will be down to ransomware or data theft extortionists. But that’s not always the case. Occasionally the cause can be human error or a malicious insider. And sometimes the attacks have an outsized impact, even if the number of victims is relatively small.

So in no particular order, here's our pick of the 10 biggest attacks of 2023.
