Unusual TXZ Email Attachments: A Cloak for Malware in 2023?

Beware the TXZ: Not just a quirky file extension, but a trojan horse for GuLoader and FormBook malware. Malspam traps reveal a sneaky trend as cybercrooks exploit Windows 11’s new archive support, leaving us wondering whether to laugh or lock down our inboxes.

Hot Take:

Well, well, well, if it isn't the ol' switcheroo with file extensions! Malicious actors are out here playing dress-up with their nasty little files, masquerading RARs as TXZs like it's Halloween for hackers. And why? Because Windows 11 said, "Hey, come on in!" to these file types. It's like throwing a costume party and not checking the invite list — you never know who's gonna show up wearing what!
