Security Alert - Extremely Tricky Phishing Attack

This is a special alert because of the nature of a newly detected phishing attack. Hackers have found a way to use legitimate sites such as Dropbox and DocuSign to lure you into opening documents with malicious links designed to steal credentials.

This attack is particularly tricky because it relies on sites you consider safe and, therefore, they’re more likely to fool even a seasoned professional. Also, it is unlikely to appear in your web filter blocklists. By using legitimate sites, attackers instill a false sense of security in users who recognize these companies as familiar.

The key to success with this threat is clear and constant communication with your team and having regular cyber security assessments.

Your organization may already be seeing these emails sneaking right past your spam folder and making it directly to your inbox. With the impact and simplicity of this phishing tactic, we expect a surge in the number of these attacks.

You don’t have to deal with this alone. Take the first step towards stronger security and contact us to schedule a thorough cyber security assessment to see if you’re vulnerable to this type of attack. Immediate action is important so find out today how we can fortify your network defenses.
