How hackers may use this Windows app to infect your PC

PCs are getting advanced each day with new security and privacy measures to keep your system safe from malware. But so are the hackers. Now, attackers have found a new method to infect Windows PCs with malware, and they are doing it with the Windows Calculator.
The QBot or Qakbot malware group has found a new way to distribute the malicious code to systems. As per a report by Bleeping Computer, the attackers are using the Windows Calculator app to side-load malicious code onto the systems. They are doing this with the help of DLL side-loading, one of the common attack methods.
How does the malware ‘attack’ your PC?
The DLL side-loading takes advantage of the Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) handling process in the Windows system. Attackers use the method to mimic an actual DLL, which is then moved to a folder where the OS loads it as an authorized DLL.
