If Infostealer infections are happening in companies like Lockheed Martin, and even in the U.S Navy, we should conclude that the defense industry is also vulnerable to more sophisticated attacks.

In this new research, we examined the state of Infostealer infections in the most sensitive areas, and the results are concerning. Of the tens of millions of computers infected by Infostealers, a portion belong to individuals employed in sensitive companies.

We analyze the type of access hackers can gain from these infections and speculate on how they could exploit such access.
