A dual message this memorial day 2025
Thanks for the service of all who fell for our country!!!
Also do not download malware and thus do the work of the attacker???
Why would someone do that? Because the allure of a coupon or some perceived gain or Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO)
Hackernews and others(Lifehacker) explain
Hackernews –
The malware known as Latrodectus has become the latest to embrace the widely-used social engineering technique called ClickFix as a distribution vector.
“The ClickFix technique is particularly risky because it allows the malware to execute in memory rather than being written to disk,” Expel said in a report shared with The Hacker News. “This removes many opportunities for browsers or security tools to detect or block the malware.”
Lifehacks –
The scheme, identified by Trend Micro and reported by Bleeping Computer, instructs users to execute commands to activate Windows and Microsoft Office or premium features in CapCut and Spotify. One video is captioned “Boost Your Spotify Experience Instantly — Here’s How!” and has nearly half a million views.
These videos seem to be AI generated and, while the software they discuss is legitimate, the activation steps they outline are not, and will ultimately lead users to infect their devices with Vidar and StealC malware.
Make sure employees understand their role and not to download things unless permitted to by management / Infotech department
