PIKABOT, I choose you!

Elastic Security Labs identified new campaigns distributing PIKABOT, a loader malware used by threat actors to deliver additional payloads. The malware has been updated as part of these campaigns.

Why it matters: Security teams need to monitor for PIKABOT activity and the payloads it delivers, as this widely deployed loader poses a direct infection risk to endpoints and networks.
