Fake Text File can Load Malware on Computers
The .txt extension is known to be a harmless text file and when email clients and Windows load a file with the extension, the popular Notepad icon appears. However, one of the latest threats uses RTLO and the Unicode character U+202E to make a text file into an advanced attack. As most users are familiar with the Notepad icon, they are likely to open the attachment. In many current RTLO attacks the malicious file is a PowerShell script, which allows attackers to download external files and change computer settings on the computer.
