Those are one-day landing websites where users are offered to download the free app, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a pretty new method in malware distribution – you get the e-mail that imitates some regular notifications about shipments or bank service conditions shifts. Within the email, there is a malicious MS Office file, or a web link which leads to the exploit landing page.

Malicious email spam

Malicious email message. This one tricks you to open the phishing website.

Simple cybersecurity knowledge is just an essential item in the modern world, even if your interaction with a computer remains on YouTube videos. That may keep you a lot of money and time which you would certainly spend while trying to find a fix guide.
