Fake party invitations are being used in a scam to trick victims into installing ScreenConnect, a remote access tool, on their Windows computers. Victims receive emails that appear friendly and informal, leading to a seemingly innocent invitation link. Clicking the link downloads an MSI file disguised as an invitation, which silently installs ScreenConnect, allowing attackers full control of the victim's computer. The scam exploits human curiosity and urgency, often going unnoticed until suspicious behavior occurs on the system. To protect against this scam, users should be wary of unsolicited invitations, avoid running unknown MSI files, and verify invitations through other channels.
