Threat hunting in particular is critical in these instances, as it provides organizations with the surge support needed to combat adversaries and thwart their objectives.

The CrowdStrike Content Research team recently analyzed a MacOS targeted browser hijacking campaign that modifies the user’s browsing experience to deliver ads.
