Once engaged, these malware payloads can compromise sensitive data, disrupt operations, and facilitate further cyberattacks. The rise of this method underscores the need for heightened vigilance and robust cybersecurity measures, including employee training and advanced email filtering. Organizations must stay informed about evolving threat landscapes and implement multi-layered defenses to mitigate these risks effectively. This article delves into the mechanics of this attack strategy, highlights notable incidents, and offers practical advice for prevention and response.
