Good morning! This morning is a short, and easy episode. I mainly just wanted to test out a new audio configuration. I have been trying to troubleshoot the audio issue in the past several episodes and I finally think I got it all fixed. Anyway, this episode is about the old fake file extension scam/virus. This is a scam/virus that names a file a .pdf fil in the file name, but in reality the file is a .exe fil or .scr file. This was a common trojan horse virus method several years ago. It is now making a resurgence with artists and content creators entering into the web3 space. Be careful about people sending you zip files or pdf files to show you their portfolio, slide show, branding guidelines, etc... Even if you know the person, ask if they have opened the file on their machine and where they got the file.
