@rmceoin @mttaggart Just a thought, but could it be deliberately broken as part of the phishing / social engineering aspect? Attach it to an email. User tries to run it, but it doesn't run. User calls "help desk". They step the user through how to fix it: "do the thing that sidesteps the syntax errors", "great, now disable anti-virus..."Could the code errors be fixed by something the target user could do?

@mttaggart @rmceoin Fair enough. I meant fake IT support (I should've been clearer than just throwing it into scare quotes). But, yeah, that's a lot of time consuming work by real people. Do the errors mean it doesn't even redirect to a compromised site or throw up an alert box or anything?
