New malware uses Microsoft’s PowerPoint as an attack vector to infect computers

However, this is the first time this exploit has been used to compromise PowerPoint slideshow files.

However, on closer look, it has no business documents attached but an attachment that is named PO-483848.ppsx.

Once the flaw is successfully exploited, a file called logo.doc will be downloaded.

The REMCOS RAT allows the attacker to control a system from anywhere in the world.

However, Microsoft had already released a patch in April to address the vulnerability, notesTrend Micro.
