Ransomware Is Going “Fileless” — And That’s a Big Problem
Most people think ransomware means “malicious files”.That’s no longer true.
Today, many ransomware attacks use built-in system tools that already exist on your computer. No strange files. No obvious malware.
What attackers are doing:
  • Using normal admin tools instead of custom malware
  • Running commands directly in memory
  • Moving across the network using legitimate remote access features
Why this matters:Traditional antivirus looks for bad files.If there are no bad files… detection becomes much harder.
Question for the group:Are your security tools focused on behavior, or mostly on known malware?
