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.
They are always on hand to help, especially outside of normal working hours to help lessen the disruption to our users.
