Emailed Word docs seem the most common attack vector for successful ransomware attacks these days.

Ah, Word document viruses. Amazing how they’re still an issue after all these years. I still remember my first fights with them in the late 90s. One of the reasons one of my first steps with Word is to shut off macros, because who the heck is going to send me a text document that needs macros???
