New Loader Masquerades as Antivirus to Deliver SSLoad
Briefly

PhantomLoader disguises itself as a legitimate antivirus module, cleverly bypassing security measures. Its advanced techniques allow it to stealthily deliver SSLoad, a Rust-based malware.
The attack typically begins with phishing emails that lure victims through malicious Word documents. Once opened, these documents execute macros that enable the loader's entry.
PhantomLoader employs self-modifying techniques, creating a multi-step process to hide its malicious intentions. This ensures traditional security tools struggle to detect its true purpose.
This sophisticated attack underlines the need for advanced security solutions that can identify and counteract deception techniques employed by modern malware like PhantomLoader.
