Real emails, hijacked payments: Two H1 2026 attack chains

Gen's H1 2026 Threat Report documents two distinct attack chains: one combining compromised business email accounts with browser manipulation to deliver banking malware, and another exploiting clipboard hijacking to divert cryptocurrency transactions. Both techniques target financial assets through manipulation of legitimate communication and transaction channels.

Why it matters: Finance and cryptocurrency-focused organizations need awareness of these tactics, as attackers are using compromised email and endpoint manipulation to redirect payments and deploy financial malware at scale.
