WhatsApp fake-invoice malware scam reported; recipient avoids installing ISO file

A Reddit user reports receiving a WhatsApp message from a colleague's account containing an ISO/BIN file described as an invoice. The user downloaded it onto a company PC but stopped before installation, suspecting the colleague's account was compromised. A cybersecurity hotline advised there is no harm if the file was not run, recommending an antivirus scan or reformat as a precaution. Single unverified report; no other cases have come forward.
