The Empire post-exploitation framework used by hackers of all hats alike has been discontinued this week, passing the torch to newer tools for offensive activities.
The announcement came on Wednesday from Chris Ross, one of the developers of the framework.

The researcher further explains that the decision was supported by "the security optics and improvements that have been provided by Microsoft in the past few years."

While it became a common tool for penetration testers, Empire was also embraced for malicious activities. Researchers saw it used by various threat groups, from nation-state hackers to financially-driven ones.

Threat actors also used it with increased frequency in high-profile ransomware incidents.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to prevent malicious actors from adopting the tools used by the infosec industry to strengthen defenses.
