A security researcher with Kaspersky Labs has found pirated digital copies of Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury containing malware that could help hackers gain access to other people’s computers.
The exploit was highlighted by researcher Michael Molsner and reported by the Daily Beast. The Beast noted that the compromised version of the book, in PDF format, has only a little over 230 pages, instead of the 328 pages in the official version. In tests conducted by the Daily Beast, the included malware was easily detected by antivirus software.
