Several cases of targeted phishing by email have been reported by some of our clients. Download our white paper to learn more about the mechanism of such an attack.

Since the end of March, we have observed several cases of targeted phishing attacks reported by our clients as part of our CSIRT activities. These incidents highlight the ongoing threat of phishing and the need for vigilance.

In every phishing attack, hackers attempt to steal sensitive information or money for malicious purposes. They exploit both electronic methods, such as emails and instant messaging, and non-electronic means, like phone calls, to deceive their targets. Understanding how these scams operate is crucial to defending against them effectively.

 

This white paper describes in depth the mechanism of such an attack, and the measures taken by a hacker to cover his tracks.

To help organisations tackle these threats, we have created a comprehensive white paper that dives deep into the mechanics of phishing attacks. It explains the step-by-step process hackers use to craft and execute their scams, from the initial setup to the sophisticated techniques they employ to cover their tracks and evade detection.

This detailed analysis goes beyond just identifying the risks. It provides actionable insights into how cybercriminals operate and equips organisations with the tools and strategies needed to protect themselves. By understanding these methods, you can strengthen your defences and reduce your vulnerability to phishing attacks.

Finally, don’t wait for a phishing attack to compromise your security. Download our white paper. Learn more about the tactics hackers use and the steps you can take to safeguard your organisation.
