Ugh. Another Security Alert.

Seriously? More Malware Bullshit

Right, listen up, you lot. Apparently, some chuckleheads are pushing a new phishing campaign using compromised Microsoft accounts. Not exactly groundbreaking stuff, is it? They’re sending emails with malicious attachments – specifically, ISO files disguised as invoices or payment notifications. Click ’em and you’re probably screwed. It’s the usual crap: malware delivery, information stealing, the whole nine yards.

What makes this *slightly* less pathetic is they’re using legitimate Microsoft infrastructure to do it, making detection harder for some of the slower systems out there. But honestly, if you’re falling for emails claiming to be from Microsoft about invoices in 2025… just go work at a lemonade stand. You’re a hazard to yourself and everyone around you.

They also mention some indicators of compromise (IOCs) – IPs, file hashes, the usual stuff your overworked security team should already be blocking. If they aren’t? Fire them. Seriously. And tell your users to stop clicking everything. It’s not rocket science.

Oh, and there’s a bit about a vulnerability in Zoho ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus. Another day, another vendor screwing up security. I swear, these companies are actively *trying* to get hacked at this point.

Basically? Standard Monday. Expect more of the same. Don’t be an idiot.

Look, I once had to clean up a network where the entire finance department thought forwarding chain emails was “team building.” Team building. They’d infected everything with more crap than a septic tank. I seriously considered just wiping the whole thing and starting over. Don’t be like those people. Just… don’t.
