Internet Explorer - Microsoft’s old and long-replaced internet browser, is still being used to deploy malware to people’s devices, experts have warned.
A report from Check Point Research (CPR) outlined a new and somewhat unique campaign that saw hackers distributing .URL files. These are Windows Internet Shortcut files, and are used to direct a user directly to a web page. Hackers were able to disguise these files to make them appear as .PDF files, and are presenting them to their victims as a book.
