AdaptixC2 Raises Security Alarms Amid Active Use in Cyber Incidents

During this time, when digital resilience has become more important than digital innovation, there is an increasing gap between strengthened defences and the relentless adaptability of cybercriminals, which is becoming increasingly evident as we move into the next decade. According to a recent study by Veeam, seven out of ten organisations still suffered cyberattacks in the past year, despite spending more on security and recovery capabilities. 

Rather than simply preventing intrusions, the issue has now evolved into ensuring rapid recovery of mission-critical data once an attack has succeeded, a far more complex challenge. As a result of this uneasiness, the emergence of AdaptixC2, an open-source framework for emulating post-exploitation adversarial adversaries, is making people more concerned. 

With its modular design, support for multiple beacon formats, and advanced tunnelling features, AdaptixC2 is one of the most versatile platforms available for executing commands, transferring files, and exfiltrating data from compromised systems. As a result, analysts have observed its use in attacks ranging from social engineering campaigns via Microsoft Teams to automated scripts likely to be used in many of these attacks, and in some cases in combination with ransomware attacks. 

In light of the ever-evolving threat landscape, the increasing prevalence of such cust
