File Selection Gaffe, (Sun, Oct 18th)

Have you ever sent out the wrong file? I know it has happened to me, attaching the wrong file to an email.

And it happens to malicious actors too.

You must be thinking the same as me: what is an .mmp file? Microsoft Project? No, that seems to be .mpp.

Gammadyne Mailer is email marketing software.

This malicious actor sent out the project file for their mailing campaign!
