Security researchers have documented active Formbook malware campaigns utilizing obfuscated JavaScript as a primary delivery mechanism. Formbook, a credential-stealing malware family, continues to evolve its obfuscation techniques to evade detection and analysis.

Formbook, a persistent information-stealing malware, continues to evolve its delivery mechanisms by combining obfuscated JavaScript with legitimate Windows tools including MSBuild and PowerShell. This multi-stage attack chain uses script obfuscation to bypass initial detection, then transitions to native Windows binaries to execute malicious payloads and maintain system access.
