Security intelligence solutions company Securonix has warned that threat actors have been using the ‘Go’ programming language and a Microsoft Office attachment in a phishing email to launch malware attacks. If the recipient of the email opens it and has macros enabled, a photo from the James Webb Space Telescope is downloaded which then triggers a hidden malware payload. The advice is to not to click on or open suspicious or unsolicited emails, and to keep antivirus and patching up to date.
There has been a noticeable improvement…Thank you very much for your assistance.
