TL;DR

Cybersecurity experts warn of a rise in sophisticated two-step phishing attacks using Microsoft Visio files to evade detection. These attacks involve sending emails from breached accounts with seemingly harmless attachments that, when interacted with, lead to credential-stealing sites. Additionally, attackers are using scalable vector graphics (SVG) files to deploy phishing attacks, exploiting their ability to execute JavaScript. Users are advised to be cautious with unfamiliar file formats and ensure robust email security measures, including two-factor authentication.
