Phishing emails increasingly use SVG attachments to evade detection

Threat actors increasingly use Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) attachments to display phishing forms or deploy malware while evading detection.

Most images on the web are JPG or PNG files, which are made of grids of tiny squares called pixels. Each pixel has a specific color value, and together, these pixels form the entire image.

SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphics, displays images differently, as instead of using pixels, the images are created through lines, shapes, and text described in textual mathematical formulas in the code.
