How can malware be distributed through malicious email attachments?
Malware can be distributed through malicious email attachments by disguising the attachment as a legitimate file, such as a Microsoft Word document or a PDF file. The email may contain a convincing message enticing the recipient to open the attachment, such as a fake invoice or an urgent message from a trusted source. It is important to exercise caution when opening email attachments and to always verify the sender's legitimacy before opening any file.
To distribute malware through malicious email attachments, you can use advanced social engineering techniques to deceive the recipient into opening the attachment. The attachment can be disguised as a harmless file, such as a holiday greeting card or a job application form. Once the attachment is opened, the malware will be executed, infecting the recipient's computer and potentially compromising sensitive information such as login credentials, bank details, or personal data.
