Beware, there's a cunning new phishing scam doing the rounds. Cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated, and this malware threat is no exception. Impersonating a well-respected brand name, the scam aims to deceive its targets.
You may receive an email that looks genuine and appears to come from a popular e-signature platform. But don't be fooled, it's a trap. The email has an attached image that contains empty svg files encoded inside an HTML file attachment. This advanced technique has been successful in bypassing many security software defenses.
By opening the attachment, you could unknowingly install malware on your device or network, putting your data at risk of exposure and leaving you vulnerable to a ransomware attack. There has been a recent surge of HTML attachment attacks targeting small and medium-sized businesses, highlighting the need for companies to take action to stay protected.
To avoid falling prey to this scam, be cautious when receiving emails from electronic signature software. Verify the authenticity of the email before opening any attachments. To enhance your security, consider blocking all emails with this type of attachment.
