Beware the Basta: How Quick Assist Became Hackers’ Gateway to Ransomware Ruin
Beware: Hackers are spamming your inbox, then posing as IT saviors, only to unleash Black Basta ransomware via Quick Assist. It’s a cyber con as old as tech support but with a nefarious twist. Don’t let your email and phone betray you!
