Reading up on mshta.exe-abusing malware this evening after Defender on the family PC blocked a LummaStealer download.
Proud of my 10yo for telling me immediately that “some Trojan warning popped up”. Initially he was very sad and upset, but we talked through it (“you’re not in trouble!”) and I was impressed to hear his theory that maybe coinminers could be a potential payload. Seriously, he has better infosec opinions than some IT professionals.
We’re also going thrifting for CDs to rip this weekend, because the source of the misadventure was that kiddo wanted MP3s for the new MP3 player, and I reckon now is as good a time as any to learn about ripping and tagging.
