We’re really proud of our clients!
Last week, these little pieces of ill-intentioned mischief popped up for a couple of the businesses we look after.
They were smart enough to evade anti-spam software but not the cyber-training. Although the emails look legitimate, they weren’t expected and seem very unusual in these workplaces.
It is easy to see how a busy person might think they were legitimate and click on the links. We’re proud of our clients who were aware of the risks and alert to the dangers. As sophisticated as security technologies are, the threat actors are constantly evolving (especially with the use of AI) and end users are a last line of defence against these attacks. Blocking domains and updating rules is something that we can do after the fact. DNS filters and website behaviour analysis are all great tools to help provide a backstop, but the best protection is people who are alert and cautious.
Great job!
