Even though I've been immersed in all things tech for some time now, I'm not arrogant enough to think I'll never be caught out by a phishing email or downloading dodgy software. That's especially true as online scams grow in sophistication—for instance, there's a fake Windows support page that tricks users into downloading password-stealing malware.
The fake support page alleges a 'cumulative update' for 'Windows Update version 24H2,' complete with a KB article number that's passable at a glance. Anyone who actually hits the big blue 'Download the update' button will get a convincingly spoofed Windows Installer package. Unfortunately, this download is actually malware that can hoover up "passwords, payment details, and account access", according to cybersecurity company Malwarebytes.
