Modern malware use every possible vector of attack to infect a system. Emails, which are available to almost everyone, are common carriers. In this type of attack, attackers try to lure users to open malicious attachments that look like documents, but have multiple file extensions, such as “financial.doc.exe”. Most of the time, the user only sees the “financial.doc” filename without the ".exe" extension, which makes it easy to assume that it is a Microsoft Word document. Once the file is clicked and executed, the executable can download the rest of its malicious components.
