Cephalus Ransomware: Don’t Lose Your Head

Huntress identified two incidents in mid-August connected to Cephalus ransomware, which exploited DLL sideloading through a legitimate SentinelOne executable to gain execution.

Why it matters: Organizations using SentinelOne or other security tools need to understand that Cephalus operators are weaponizing trusted executables for initial access, requiring immediate review of DLL sideloading attack vectors.
