Active Malware Families
17 malware families active this week (2 corroborated across ≥2 sources), exercising 20 ATT&CK techniques. Family is the unit, not the indicator: the raw IOCs are drill-down evidence below, not the signal.

Families marked ”→” are delivery/social-engineering clusters (ClickFix, GuLoader). Their technique mappings are the delivery chain — downstream behavior is payload-dependent, so they don’t open a hard coverage gap on their own.
