The Stegosploit Digital Steganography Project

Stegosploit is the technique that allows an attacker to embed executable JavaScript code within an image. Now there are new scary scenarios for Internet users that could be infected by viewing a picture on any website, even without clicking on it or downloading it. The image could be the container for the priming of the malware.

When an Internet user views the image, the hidden script would automatically load on the host the malicious code that could be used for various purposes, including control victim’s device and steal sensitive data.

The expert highlighted that antivirus software and malware detection solutions are not able to detect the Stegosploit leaving users open to any kind of attack.
