  • Windows 10's App installer process has become a target for threat actors.
  • The process is being used as a means to disseminate malware payloads.
  • As usual, the whole scam starts with a sketchy email and the targeted user clicking links they shouldn't.
Scammers and threat actors attempting to cause trouble are nothing new in the world of computing, especially not in the Windows sector. So when we tell you there's a dangerous Windows 10 swindle being called out, don't be surprised.
