Why This Office Exploit Needed Your Help To Work (2026/677)

Описание: Microsoft pushed an emergency patch for Office after discovering a zero-day exploit that attackers were already using. The flaw bypassed Office's built-in security protections, allowing malicious code to run when you open a document. But here is the catch: it only worked if they could convince you to open the file first.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ How this zero-day exploit bypassed Office security protections
✅ Why the social engineering component was critical to the attack
✅ What to do if you receive unexpected documents, even from people you know
✅ How to apply the fix for Office 2016, 2019, 2021 and Microsoft 365
✅ Why verifying through a separate channel is your best defence

The more sophisticated our systems get, the more sophisticated the attacks become. Stay vigilant.
