Vulnerable couriers
Microsoft This malware now shows that the mail and distribution campaign is spreading, but first in the form of emails sent in English. However, this type of software can be easily used by hackers with French text and spread to us. Note that this text is provided as a means of accessing the payment document. If this document is opened, the malware will allow access to the mailboxes of the targeted person who clicked on the link. This allows the hacker to continue to send their malware to other victims, thus spreading.
As with any questionable email of this type, it is best to avoid clicking on a link or link. Microsoft is expected to create a link for Windows 10 just like any other computer Internet Security. So don’t forget to update your security and antivirus solutions. As for passwords, do not hesitate to go through dual authentication systems, a code or biometric unlocking system that can not analyze this type of malware.
