Hackers have broken into IKEA ‘s mail systems, Bleeping Computer reported Liner. Hackers have taken advantage of the lack of a security update and have been sending malicious links to employees ever since.

Not only has IKEA been affected by the attack, the company said, it has carried out the same attacks on some of its business partners.

The problem is extremely difficult to solve, as messages from the real mailboxes of workers come through when the mail system is hacked.

According to the paper, hackers are currently trying to install the Qbot and Emotet Trojans with employees in this way, although experts say this is just the beginning, and the real goal could be to spread an extortion virus to IKEA.
