[Bglug] OT: New malware delivery trick...

[LP]

There are Windows settings to "Show all file extensions" I usually enable it and use show hidden, show encrypted files in Blue text etc Kaspersky can scan zip files 

I tweak it till it breaks just to see how far I can push it.
Running LMDE4 here so cant go find it to share



Regards, Chris.
