A technically complicated warning for Google Chrome users has just been issued, but thankfully it’s one with a stupidly simple instruction that you must follow to avoid being attacked.
The warning comes courtesy of Proofpoint, which says it has “observed an increase in a technique leveraging unique social engineering that directs users to copy and paste malicious PowerShell scripts to infect their computers with malware.”
The research team suggests multiple treat actors have been using the technique, delivering various forms of malware in the process. It’s easy to spot, though, and so once aware users should find it very easy to prevent an infection. These are actually instructions you should be following anyway.
