Executable Attachments
For those who are unaware, we’ve been watching a growing wave of phishing style executables coming through email. Almost all are obscured in some way and do not come as an obvious EXE attachment. They’re either zip files, url files or the like.
Examples include;
A contract prepared for you…
A DHL parcel delivery docket…
A Facebook password reset…
An account application form…
A permit form of some sort…
We therefore suggest you are very careful with anything that executes at the moment. Virus scanners are catching some, but they morph so quickly they’re also missing the first waves. So don’t ignore them!
