Suppose I received one malicious email, previewed, downloaded and opened it. That could compromise my pc. Could said actions infect any other used to be known-good files in my account on the mail server? If I delete the malicious email and continue to work with the files from that account from another clean pc, would that be safe? One malicious attachment should not alter any other files on the mail server unless there is a serious flaw in its architecture, right? | |
