Hackers exploit open-source tools to execute attacks because they are readily available, well-documented, and often have extensive community support, making them easy to modify and deploy.  Besides this, open-source tools can be customized to evade detection, automate tasks, and leverage existing vulnerabilities, enabling threat actors to conduct sophisticated attacks efficiently. Recorded Future’s Insikt Group uncovered a new cyber-espionage campaign, dubbed TAG-100, targeting high-profile organizations globally.
