FWIW, I think there's a really good chance that Iran put malware in the docs it stole from Trump.

Ok so are you suggesting the process was: 1. steal documents from Trump 2. add malware 3. leak documents 4. try to hack people with leaked documents ?

Does that mean you have the docs? I was under the impression they weren't widely available.

I think you’d find this is because the email address you got documents from is linked to a nation-state. It doesn’t mean the documents have malware.

Imagine how effortlessly one could clickbait that moron into malware. My over/under for countries that have installed malware on one of his computers is six. North Korea Iran China Russia Isreal US

Must be a link that leads them to the actual malware on that PDF. Run it through a virtual machine.

that's honestly bad advice from them, too many zero-days in chrome. and if a government actor is after you, assume they own some of those zero-days.

Simple solution: get a hash of the original, and compare to a hash of the ones sent by Iran. Heh. Sometimes I like living in a dream world. 🤓
