Inside of the email, there is an infected MS Office file, or a link which opens the exploit landing page.

Malicious email spam

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

Avoiding it looks pretty easy, however, still requires a lot of awareness.

Common cybersecurity awareness is just an important item in the modern-day world, even if your relationship with a computer stays on YouTube videos. That can keep you a lot of time and money which you would certainly spend while looking for a solution.
