  Most people who use email somewhat regularly have heard about phishing and may even have some idea how to protect themselves against it (if you don’t here’s a good reminder on how to protect from an email-based phishing attack ). However, what a lot of folks don’t know is that phishing doesn’t have to come from only email. Although email is the most popular target for phishing attacks, phishing can also be done via text messages or SMS (smishing), phone calls (vishing), social networks direct messages (angler phishing), hypertexts (HTTPS phishing) and so on. In this article, we’ll explain what one of these phishing methods is, particularly smishing, how scammers target users via SMS messages and how to best protect against it. How Criminals Use SMS Messages for Fraud? One of the biggest dangers of smishing is that not that many people are actually familiar with it. According to the 2020 State of the Phish report by Proofpoint , less than 35% of the...

Imagine two fishermen catching fish on a lake. One is throwing a net and is catching a variety of fish, most of them small. Maybe he catches something big enough, but maybe not.  The other fisherman, on the other hand, has a different approach. Instead of casting a net in the lake without much planning and hoping that he catches something useful to bring home to dinner, he brings a fishing rod with him. He even has a special bait because he doesn’t want to catch just any fish. He wants a particular one. A big one. Who do you think will eat better that evening? What is the Difference between Regular Phishing and Spear Phishing? This, in essence, is the difference between phishing and spear phishing. In 2012, according to Trend Micro , over 90% of all targeted cyber attacks were spear-phishing related. In regular phishing, the hacker sends emails at random to a wide number of email addresses. Just like our first fisherman friend with his ne...

The most common way hackers steal passwords, install malware on a victim’s computer, or get employees to grant them unauthorized access to critical business systems is through so-called phishing attacks. A phishing attack is surprisingly low-tech, which is part of what makes it so devastatingly effective. Learning to spot these attacks is one of the most important things you can do to protect yourself online, since a hacker’s tricks, called “lures,” can appear anywhere from an email, to a Facebook message, to a real Web site that looks exactly like one you recognize! In this workshop, you’ll learn how frighteningly easy it is to build these scam sites, and all about the tricks they use to fool you into falling for them. Detailed description Whether it’s corporate espionage, ransomware, or online fraud, most cyber attacks don’t start with sophisticated software exploits, but rather by employing relatively simple tricks. These tricks are called “phishing” att...

I get between 10 to 20 emails per day and, usually, more than half of them are phishing attempts. Phishing attempts are a type of email scam that typically aims to obtain personal data of the victim, including username and password for email accounts and popular services (Gmail, Hotmail, mail.ru, Twitter, Amazon, etc.), through pages forged ad hoc to simulate login sections. “Your account has been blocked for security checks."; “The package is about to be delivered, but…"; “Your domain has expired.” These are just a few examples of the contents/messages that the user receives in order to catch their attention and push them to click on the “owl” link, which is often disguised in such a way so as to appear legitimate. There are various techniques that allow attackers to succeed, such as email messages without grammatical errors, domains that look like the originals but differ by one or more letters, and many other deceptive tricks. My analysis has foc...

When we talk about data security, the emphasis is usually on the more technical dangers such as viruses and malicious software. However, while ensuring that your sensitive data is protected with the latest anti-virus software, there is another weakness that attackers can attempt to exploit – humans. In this article, we’ll focus on protecting your personal or financial information from social engineering attacks. What is a Social Engineering Attack? Data breaches and malicious code infections don’t happen on their own and more often than not rely on human “help” to trick users into installing malware on their computers. To make people “lower their guard” and lax in their security awareness, attackers use social engineering tactics to appear as trusted and legitimate parties so that the other side is in turn manipulated into divulging sensitive information such as login credentials or personal information. 11 Most Common Types of Social Engineering Techniques that can Trick U...
