'DeepLoad' Malware Leverages AI-Generated Code and ClickFix Social Engineering to Steal Credentials

New 'DeepLoad' Malware Campaign Combines AI Obfuscation and 'ClickFix' Delivery to Bypass Defenses

A new malware campaign dubbed 'DeepLoad' is using a potent combination of stealthy delivery and advanced obfuscation to steal credentials from enterprise environments. Researchers at ReliaQuest identified the malware, which is delivered using the 'ClickFix' social engineering technique that tricks users into running malicious commands. What sets DeepLoad apart is its use of what appears to be AI-generated code to create thousands of lines of meaningless variables and functions, effectively hiding its malicious PowerShell loader from static analysis tools and making detection extremely difficult.

Employee Data Breaches in UK Reach Seven-Year High, with Non-Cyber Incidents Surging 15%

Reports of employee data breaches submitted to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) have surged to a seven-year high, with 3,872 incidents recorded in 2025. An analysis by law firm Nockolds reveals that while cyber-related incidents fell, non-cyber incidents—primarily driven by human error—jumped by 15%. These errors, such as misaddressing emails or letters and losing paperwork, are being attributed to the complexities of hybrid work environments. The findings underscore the need for organizations to update their data protection policies and training to address the new risks posed by remote and flexible work.
