Aren't most Word/PDF files just straight up a ZIP file? So you could easily unzip a word file. Upload your malware or whatever you have. Rezip the file and send it to your target or am I not remembering it correctly?

Hi,
This is likely phishing spam and passing around for further information.
Just opening an email without clicking on anything I understand can be safe.
I would rather ask than be sorry. Is this also true of pdf files?
If someone can open safely I would like to have a sense who is behind this one.
Thanks,
Eduard
