Cybersecurity expert, Kevin Beaumont, has warned Microsoft Office users about a scam that uses a hole in a Microsoft Word. The scam, dubbed “Follina”, involves cybercriminals leveraging a Windows utility called msdt.exe to cause victims to download a malware-loaded Word file. The malware could allow attackers to run arbitrary code, install programs, change or delete data, or create new accounts. Microsoft has issued workaround guidance here.
Having had some real bad experiences with IT companies in the past it has been a breath of fresh air to have you and your team assisting all of my staff with any issues that have arisen.
