Cisco Talos observed threat actors abusing CSS to evade detection and track user behavior, raising security and privacy concerns.
Attackers use CSS properties like text-indent and font-size to hide phishing text in emails and bypass security parsers.
Threat actors can also track user behavior and conduct fingerprinting attacks using CSS, gathering data on recipients' preferences and system information.
