Summary

Hide ▲

A sophisticated phishing campaign targeting U.S. organizations uses AI-generated SVG files to evade security defenses. The attack leverages compromised business email accounts to send phishing messages, redirecting users to fake login pages to harvest credentials. The campaign employs advanced obfuscation techniques, including business-related language and complex code structures, to disguise malicious intent. The phishing messages use a self-addressed email tactic to bypass basic detection heuristics. The SVG files, which are text-based and scriptable, embed JavaScript and other dynamic content to deliver interactive phishing payloads. The campaign was detected on August 28, 2025, and effectively blocked by Microsoft's security systems. The use of AI in this campaign highlights the evolving tactics of threat actors, who are increasingly adopting AI tools to craft more convincing phishing lures and automate malware obfuscation.
