Last week I wrote a piece about how opening the wrong PDF led to a #cybersecurity breach that rapidly escalated

Since then I've figured out how the PDF managed to evade all major virus/malware detection tools and exploit a vulnerability (that may still exist!)

Let's dig in👇
As mentioned in the piece I had suspicions about the PDF because it had come from the vicinity of #cryptocurrency criminals, so before opening I ran it through a bunch of reputable malware detection tools.
They all gave it the all clear... and they still do. Here's a link to the @virustotal report showing 0 out of 61 malware scanners alerted on this PDF.

#VirusTotal is Google's #cybersecurity offering so it's not surprising Gmail also gave it the all clear.
