TokenFactory IFrame Issue
Two remarks about the posts above - just a kind of care: The suggestion from Luchotamblay to block downloads is surely a workaround - but as I wrote within my article, you are no longer able to download mail attachments. If you are affected, use Firefox as a temporary workaround - as I suggested within my original article.
The second suggestion from Luchotamblay with the link to howtoremove guide should be taken with care (I would not post this external link in MS forums without a warning). After the initial incident reported above - and after I wrote my initial article - several sites also created an article "what is Token Factory Iframe" - and explain it as a browser hijacker. While that's probably not false, all sites offers a "free" removal tool.
I just read the terms of use of their "free removal tool" - they try to trick incautious users to a subscription of 48 € (or $) for 6 months. Imho suspicious ...
I have not seen (till yet) any report about an infection of a browser hijacker in the current case (although users has checked their macOS systems and browsers with tools like Bitdefender).
