#ESETresearch analyzed operation #Interception, a new espionage campaign targeting aerospace & defense companies in Europe and the Middle East. Initial contact was made via #LinkedIn, where attackers approached targets with fake job offers @jiboutin welivesecurity.com/2020/06/17/ope… 1/5 
The attackers sent a password protected RAR archive containing a LNK file responsible for showing a decoy PDF and downloading additional malware. In some cases, this archive was sent directly through #LinkedIn instant messenger. #ESETresearch 2/5
While the victim was being deceived by the decoy PDF, a scheduled task was created, launching WMIC to execute a script embedded in a remote XSL file. This enabled the attackers to get their initial foothold inside the targeted company and gain persistence on the computer. 3/5
