About this tag
The authenticode stuffing tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about threat actors exploiting trusted digital signatures to bypass security controls. Recent content highlights how attackers use trojanized installers, such as stripped-down ClickOnce runners, to deliver malware while maintaining valid authenticode signatures.
