Smoke#Screen RMM Takeover Gambit Exposes Threat Actor Playbook

A threat actor campaign uses social engineering techniques with rotating payloads to deliver ScreenConnect remote access software to compromised networks. The attacks employ diverse lures to facilitate persistent remote management capabilities on victim systems.

Why it matters: Organizations using ScreenConnect or vulnerable to RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) compromise face persistent backdoor access; security teams should monitor for unusual ScreenConnect activity and review access logs for unauthorized remote sessions.
