In today’s digital age, cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and difficult to detect. The latest malware attack to hit the scene is a prime example of this. Cyber criminals are utilizing a clever strategy to trick users into installing malware onto their devices.
The malware comes in the form of a convincing email, appearing to come from a widely used e-signature platform. The email contains a blank image loaded with encoded svg files that are carefully disguised inside an HTML file attachment. This cunning technique is bypassing many security software programs and putting businesses at risk.
Once the attachment is opened, it can install malware onto your device or network, putting sensitive information and data at risk of exposure and leaving the door open for a possible ransomware attack.
Small and medium-sized businesses have recently been targeted by HTML attachment attacks, making it imperative for companies to take action to protect themselves. To stay ahead of cyber criminals, it is important to double-check the authenticity of emails before opening any attachments.
Taking an extra precautionary step, companies can also block emails with this type of attachment, keeping employees protected from potential scam emails.
