ZipLine is a phishing-led intrusion campaign active in 2025 that shifted its operational focus toward Europe. It has been associated with HR-themed social-engineering lures and targets organizations in critical manufacturing and export-oriented mid-market sectors. The campaign has been observed targeting victims in the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, and the Czech Republic, and has also been described as affecting organizations in Austria and Switzerland. ZipLine relies on familiar intrusion tradecraft rather than novel malware engineering, combining phishing delivery with cloud-hosted command-and-control infrastructure. Reported activity includes use of MixShell in newer campaign iterations and attacker contact initiated through public corporate contact forms as part of victim engagement and lure delivery. The campaign is notable for its concentration on European business targets and its use of commodity-looking infrastructure to blend malicious traffic with legitimate cloud services.
