File Extensions & security

Did you know that changing the file extension of a file can make it appear as a different file type? For example, you can change a .txt file to a .jpg file and it will still open in a text editor. This can be used as a social engineering tactic to trick someone into downloading and opening a malicious file. Always be cautious of file extensions, and verify the file type with a trusted source before opening it.
