In recent news, a group of hackers, with connections to Libya, has returned to the spotlight. These hackers are using old tricks to fool people in the Middle East and North Africa. They send out fake emails that look like they’re about something important and political. These emails are meant to trick people into clicking on bad links. When someone clicks, a harmful program called AsyncRAT can get onto their computer.

AsyncRAT is not something you want on your computer. It’s like a sneaky spy that can take your personal information, watch what you’re doing on your computer, and even control your computer without you knowing. It’s very sneaky and can cause a lot of trouble.

The way these hackers trick people hasn’t changed much over the years. They still create fake emails that seem to be about political topics that people might feel strong about. This method is called “phishing,” and it works like fishing in a lake. But instead of catching fish, the hackers catch people’s attention and trick them into falling into their net.

While this sounds scary, there are ways to protect oneself and one’s community from these kinds of attacks. Understanding how these tricks work is the first step. You wouldn’t just open your door to a stranger, right? So, in the same way, think twice before clicking on links in emails from people you don’t know or that look odd, even if they seem to be about important issues.
