SideCopy Cyber-Espionage Group Targets Indian Government, Military

A cyber-espionage group has been observed targeting Indian targets with government and military-related lures in a broad campaign to infect victims with malware. From a report: Tracked under the name of SideCopy, this cyber-espionage group has been active since 2019, according to Seqrite, Quick Heal's threat intelligence team, which first documented its spear-phishing campaigns last September. But in a report published today, Cisco Talos, one of the networking giant's cybersecurity divisions, said the group did not retreat or stop its operations after having its attacks and tooling exposed last year.

"The emails came with malicious file attachments—ranging from LNK files to self-extracting RAR EXEs and MSI-based installers"

You mean this malware only runs on Windows and only after the end user opens an email attachment. Is it possible for the Microsoft's security group to devise a computer that can't be compromised by reading your email?

Who is this hacking group affiliated with?
