Do Not Open This PDF On A Microsoft Windows PC

Microsoft has warned about the increasing use of PDF attachments in cyberattacks, particularly during the U.S. tax season. Attackers have been using PDFs with embedded links that redirect users to counterfeit pages, such as a fake DocuSign site. TrustWave SpiderLabs has identified a new campaign involving a fake payment SWIFT copy that leads to a malicious PDF containing obfuscated JavaScript, which downloads a script that conceals the RemcosRAT payload using steganography. This technique involves hiding links within images, making them difficult to detect. The latest attacks begin with phishing emails containing malicious PDFs that direct victims to harmful webpages, facilitating the delivery of RemcosRAT, a trojan that allows remote control of compromised systems. Users are advised to be cautious of emails labeled “SWIFT Copy” and to delete suspicious emails immediately.

Azure outage hits Minecraft, MongoDB Cloud, Moesif, others

A significant outage affecting Microsoft Azure has caused connectivity problems for customers globally, beginning around 11:45 UTC. Microsoft attributed the outage to complications within its network infrastructure, specifically the Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Azure Front Door service, due to an unexpected usage spike. The company implemented network configuration changes and failovers to improve service availability, which began to show results around 14:10 UTC. However, these changes may have caused additional disruptions for some services. Various companies have reported issues due to the Azure outage, including Mojang, which noted intermittent failures for Minecraft users, and Microsoft 365, where users are experiencing problems. Unity reported challenges with downloads and uploads, while MongoDB indicated degraded health of some Atlas Clusters. GitHub's Codespaces tool and DocuSign's Rooms feature experienced disruptions, attributed to the Azure outage, but both were resolved around the same time. Starbucks also faced difficulties with its mobile app, potentially linked to the Azure issues. Microsoft expects full mitigation of the problems by 20:30 UTC.
