Hackers Disguise Cyberattack with JPEG File​

A new cyberattack design uses a fake image file to disguise a malicious PowerShell script that pass security protocols. This campaign is targeting Windows systems, and starts off looking like an authentic email. A victim receives an image file through the phishing email. Once the mage is downloaded, an altered version of a remote access tool is present on the system. The Windows OS does not take any precautions because the extension mimics an image file.
