Yes if you read the article the weaponized powerpoint was a lure; “Many of the lures observed have been specific to the Ukrainian conflict with Russia and to broader geopolitical issues related to Russia.” If the target didn’t open the powerpoint there was no exploit.
Way different than what the ABC article linked in the opening post implies.
“A destructive “Trojan Horse” malware program has penetrated the software that runs much of the nation’s critical infrastructure and is poised to cause an economic catastrophe, according to the Department of Homeland Security.”
That statement is simply not true.
I read it that there were documented instances where the PPT was opened and an attack vector was established. Is that not the case?
