Received an email? Unsure if it's legit? Let's talk about spotting malicious emails.




Urgency: Malicious actors often rely on urgency. Take your time, verify the source, and then take action.




Use the SLAM Method: Examine the Sender, Links, Attachments, and Message.




Be aware of these common email scams:

Example 1: Payroll Scam

Check the Sender's email address, not just the name.

No Links or Attachments.

Read the Message carefully.

Follow your company's processes.




Example 2: Sexploitation Threat

Beware of urgency.

"Email spoofing" is common.

Understand the Message's technical jargon.

Seek IT help if concerned.




Example 3: Password Expiration Scam

No company contacts you on the day of expiration.

Verify the Sender's email address.

Grammar mistakes can be a red flag.

Don't click on suspicious links.




Remember, analyze with the SLAM method and take your time! 🔒

Let's dive into the world of phishing campaigns.


Phishing, in a nutshell, is the art of deception used by bad actors to trick you into giving up your precious credentials or worse.


Mass Campaigns: The most common type, where the bad guys throw thousands (or even millions) of emails into the digital wild, hoping that a few will take the bait. These campaigns are cheap but have a low success rate.


Spear Phishing: A more targeted approach, where the attackers tailor their messages to a specific organization or person. They might pretend to be someone within the organization or a known partner. It's pricier for the bad guys but often more rewarding.


Whaling: Think of this as high-stakes spear phishing, targeting senior executives and VIPs within an organization. It costs even more to set up but can lead to much greater rewards if successful.


Clone Phishing: Tricky, tricky! Here, the bad guys take a legitimate email from a trusted source and swap out the links for ones leading to malicious sites. It can be a man-in-the-middle attack or an impersonation of the original sender.


These are just some of the tactics in the phisher's playbook.

The best defense? A) Guard your info and tech with multifactor authentication. 🔒 B) Educate and train your employees to be phishing-savvy.
