The Danger of Spear-Phishing

Generic phishing emails are easily caught by spam filters. But if a hacker wants to specifically target your business (to deploy ransomware or steal a wire transfer), they will launch a "Spear-Phishing" attack.

The first step in their attack is buying a domain name that looks almost identical to yours. They then set up an email server and email your HR or Finance department. Because the email address looks so legitimate, your employees are highly likely to trust it.

How to defend your business:

  • • Defensive Purchasing: If you own mycompany.com, you should proactively buy mycompany.net and common misspellings to prevent hackers from getting them.
  • • MFA is Mandatory: Even if an employee is tricked by a spoofed domain and gives up their password, Multi-Factor Authentication prevents the hacker from actually logging in.
  • • Security Training: Show your employees the results of this tool so they understand how easily their eyes can be tricked.
