The Shadow Infrastructure: How Cybercriminals Are Weaponizing Virtual Machines to Evade Detection
Cybercriminals are weaponizing legitimate virtual machine infrastructure to launch sophisticated attacks while evading detection. This deep dive explores how threat actors build shadow computing environments within victim networks, the ransomware connection, and what enterprises must do to defend against this emerging threat. Cybercriminals have discovered a powerful new weapon in their arsenal: legitimate virtual machine infrastructure. What was once a tool for developers and IT professionals has become a sophisticated platform for malicious actors to launch attacks while remaining virtually invisible to traditional security measures. This evolution represents a fundamental shift in how threat actors operate, leveraging the very tools designed to improve business efficiency against their intended users.
