Massive Malspam Campaign Targets Unpatched Systems

According to cybersecurity firm Morphisec, cybercriminals are blasting spam messages that urge recipients to click a link to download a Word document. And when a victim opens the document and enables macros, malware attempts to exploit an Adobe Flash Player bug (CVE-2018-4878)  patched by Adobe earlier this month.

 Victims who fall for the ploy could ultimately hand over control of their systems to an attacker, according to researchers.
