Warning: weaponized open-source tools

We would like to draw your attention to increasingly frequent attacks using the weaponization of open-source tools, which target a wide range of organizations from the media, through defense and aerospace, to the IT services industries. The attacks are carried out using social engineering. Thanks to this, the attackers lure job seekers with fraudulent job offers. An ISO file infected with Trojan malware is subsequently sent to the applicants who respond to such an offer.
