Spammers are using the theme of the season in their latest attempt to infect computers worldwide.
The email is accompanied by a Word document with a catchy name: CHRISTMAS OFFERS.docx




It might be tempting to open the file to see what these offers are all about. However, the document is blank and requires the user to enable macros in order to view it.
By default Microsoft Office disables macros, a handy automation feature but also a huge security risk.
