About this tag
Phishing and social engineering remain top cybersecurity threats for Windows users and organizations. Discussions on WindowsForum highlight how attackers exploit Microsoft Office vulnerabilities—such as those in Office 2019, Office LTSC 2021/2024, and Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise—to deliver malicious payloads through deceptive emails and fake login pages.

The forum emphasizes that even advanced technical controls can be undermined by human error, making ongoing education a critical part of any defense strategy.
