Fellows on Nostr: If you haven’t noticed malicious emails abusing Microsoft Library Description files ...
If you haven’t noticed malicious emails abusing Microsoft Library Description files (.library-ms), watch out and block them.
From Microsoft “Library description files are XML files that define libraries. Libraries aggregate items from local and remote storage locations into a single view in Windows Explorer.”
Threat actors, in an effort to evade detection, use them as a way of connecting their target to a remote share directly via File Explorer.
