Hi everyone!

I just wanted to quickly share our latest security alert.

At the moment, cybercriminals are using a swarm of malicious domains to launch drive-by attacks against unsuspecting users.

The campaign works by injecting malicious scripts into insecure or compromised systems. Victims can get infected simply by browsing the compromised or infected websites, without clicking on anything. What exposes them to this attack are outdated versions of the following apps: Flash Player, Silverlight, Internet Explorer or Edge.

The alert includes all the details, and I highly recommend you check your apps. Hopefully, there's nothing out of date on your systems that could expose you.


Have a good weekend!

Can it exploit Google Chrome in incognito mode? I believe GC in incog mode with cookie disabled is very robust against web exploit and malicious code injections.
