**Q1 2024 High-Risk Malware Summary:** Expel's SOC reports a rise in high-risk malware to 67% of malware incidents, driven largely by JavaScript droppers (used by SocGholish, GootLoader, ZPHP), USB IATs, and RATs that enable broad access or sale of compromised hosts to ransomware actors; recommended mitigations include Secure Web Gateways and blocking uncommon domains on first sight.
