has identified a new malware campaign that uses the image, and the company is calling it the GO#WEBBFUSCATOR.
The attack starts with a phishing email containing a Microsoft Office attachment.

That, in turn, downloads a copy of photo that contains as a malicious code masquerading as a certificate. In its report about the campaign, the company said all anti-virus programs were unable to detect the malicious code in the image.that there are a couple of possible reasons why the bad actors chose to use the popular James Webb photo. One is that the high-resolution images NASA had released come in massive file sizes and can evade suspicion in that regard.
