A new Trojan named the Stegoloader Trojan has been reported. The most victims claimed by this trojan are based in healthcare organizations in the US.

This new Trojan hides itself in PNG imaged to infiltrate personal computers of people and collect information. The malware hides in the pixels of the images.

The trojan hides in PNG images so it is able to circumvent security measures like network firewalls and personal antivirus software.

This malware was first spotted in 2013, but since then it has been reworked many times and multiple versions of Stegoloader now exist. Dell was the first company to report this malware.

Out of all the Stegoloader victims, 42 percent are in the healthcare industry.
