Are you cyber aware?

According to This scary malware screenshots your system to see if you’re worth hacking which came out as part of komando’s newsletter, it asks whether you’re cyber aware.

This is the question of the article, because it talks about a new piece of malware. This malware, either delivered through a link or attachment by email, if opened will take a screenshot of your system. If the actors view that screenshot and find you worthy, it’ll go and pick up more malware.

I’m unclear if this is a Windows piece of malware or whether it is specific to one particular operating system.

I read the whole thing through and it doesn’t mention who is affected by this.

I think I would encourage all readers to be mindful until we learn what this thing can do. The article covers what it will do, and if it is clear and I missed it, someone ping me and let me know so I can be better informed.

Stay well and stay safe.
