Hackers Are Now Hiding JavaScript in SVGs – Here’s Why That’s a Big Deal
🖼️ Attackers Are Now Hiding Code in Images
⚠️ SVG files – once harmless – are now the perfect weapon for hackers.
💣 They’re using them to smuggle JavaScript directly into your browser.
🧠 The code is obfuscated, undetected by filters, and triggered automatically when the SVG loads.
🔒 Antivirus? Email filters? Many won’t even blink – it looks like an image.
🔥 But it’s a trap – and your users won’t know until it’s too late.
🔁 Redirects, credential theft, and deeper payloads are now just a click away – disguised as a logo, button, or banner.
📉 The biggest danger? Most security teams aren’t testing for this.
That’s why AUMINT Trident now includes real-world SVG lures in our simulated phishing and awareness platform – so your team doesn’t learn the hard way.
🎯 We’re not just teaching theory – we’re replicating the exact tactics attackers use.

Ransomware’s New Era: Why Smart CISOs Are Rewriting Their Budgets in 2025
🧠 Ransomware Budgets Are Up – But Are You Spending Smart?
💣 CISOs are increasing ransomware budgets – but here’s the twist:
Most of that money still goes toward old-school defenses that attackers already know how to bypass.
🔍 Meanwhile, cybercriminals are skipping firewalls and going straight for your team – using AI-powered social engineering, deepfake calls, and vendor impersonation to walk into your network.
🧩 The real question in 2025 isn’t how much you’re spending – it’s what you’re investing in.
📊 Smart orgs are focusing budgets on human-layer defense:
Continuous phishing simulations
Real-time employee risk dashboards
Personalized training based on attack patterns
💡 Because ransomware doesn’t breach your tech – it breaches your people.
🚀 That’s where AUMINT Trident comes in.
Our platform gives CISOs live insight into human attack surfaces – and how to lock them down before real attackers find them.

Big Game Hunting: Why Hackers Are Targeting the Titans of Industry
🧨 The $100M Question: Who’s Hunting Your Company?
🔍 Cybercriminals aren’t going wide anymore. They’re going deep.
🎯 Big Game Hunting is the new strategy – and enterprises are in the crosshairs. Hackers are skipping random targets and going after the biggest, richest, and most interconnected players in tech, finance, and retail.
💣 And it’s not just data theft – it’s operational sabotage, supply chain destruction, and executive impersonation on an elite level.
💼 CISOs and Security Leaders: Your biggest risk might not be a firewall misconfig – it could be a vendor with weak email hygiene or an assistant who clicked the wrong file.
👥 Social engineering is the point of entry. Every. Single. Time.

They’re watching your workflows.
They’re mimicking your tone.
They’re slipping into your team’s blind spots – and they’re not being caught.
