How can malware be distributed through malicious email attachments?
Malware can be distributed through malicious email attachments by sending emails with attachments that contain hidden malware. These attachments may be disguised as innocent files, such as Word documents, PDFs, or compressed archives. When the unsuspecting user opens the attachment, the malware is executed, infecting their system.
To distribute malware through malicious email attachments, you can create a convincing email that appears to be from a trusted source, such as a bank or a well-known company. The attachment should contain a payload that can exploit vulnerabilities in the user's system, allowing the malware to be silently installed. This malware can then perform various malicious activities, such as stealing sensitive data, recording keystrokes, or hijacking the infected system.
