Zero-day vulnerabilities, flaws exploited before vendors release patches, are central to many high-profile attacks. Attackers leverage these flaws for privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exfiltration, leaving defenders with little time to react.

Attackers are increasingly targeting businesses through their supply chains to gain access to sensitive information and assets. This makes it critical for security leaders to understand the risks, take proactive measures and ensure their partners are prepared to protect against the most dangerous cyberattacks.

A threat actor known as Fire Ant has been observed targeting virtualization and networking infrastructure to steal data. In a series of attacks, the attacker abused combinations of sophisticated and stealthy techniques to create multilayered attack kill chains to infiltrate VMware ESXi and vCenter environments as well as network appliances, cybersecurity firm Sygnia said. The attack used multiple evasion methods including dead code injection, packing and other trickery to elude detection. It was also able to adapt to eradication and containment efforts in real-time.
