Phishing attacks begin with the threat actor sending a communication, acting as someone trusted or familiar. The sender asks the recipient to take an action, often implying an urgent need to do so. Victims who fall for the scam may give away sensitive information that could cost them. Here are more details on how phishing attacks work:
Anyone can be targeted with a phishing attack, but some types of phishing are done to very specific people. Some threat actors will send out a general email to many people, hoping a few will take the bait based on a common trait. An example would be saying something is wrong with your Facebook or Amazon account, and you need to click this link right away to log in and fix it. The link would likely lead to a spoofed webpage where you might give away your login credentials.
Threat actors use more targeted phishing attacks if they are after something specific, like access to a certain company's network or data, or information from a politician or political candidate. This is called spear phishing. In this case, they may research information to make their attack sound familiar and credible, so the target is more likely to click a link or provide information. An example would be researching the name and communication style of a target company's CEO, then emailing or texting specific employees at that company pretending to be the CEO asking for something.
While threat actors often pretend to be CEOs in their phishing attacks, sometimes the target is the CEO themself. "Whale phishing" describes phishing attacks toward high-profile people like company executives, celebrities, or well-known wealthy individuals. Whether an attack is general or highly targeted, sent to one person or many people, anyone can become a phishing target, so it's important to
“Phishing is the simplest kind of cyberattack, and at the same time, the most dangerous and effective.”
Recognizing a phishing attempt isn't always easy, but a few tips, a little discipline, and some common sense will go a long way. Look for something that's off or unusual. Ask yourself if the message passes the “smell test.” Trust your intuition, but don't let yourself get swept up by fear. Phishing attacks often use fear to cloud your judgement.
Here are a few more signs of a phishing attempt:
As stated previously, phishing is an equal opportunity threat, capable of showing up on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Most Internet browsers have ways to check if a link is safe, but the first line of defense against phishing is your judgement. Train yourself to recognize the signs of phishing and try to practice safe computing whenever you check your email, read Facebook posts, or play your favorite online game.
Once again from our own Adam Kujawa, here are a few of the most important practices to keep you safe:
As always, we recommend using antivirus/anti-malware security software like Malwarebytes Premium. Most cybersecurity tools have the ability to detect when a link or an attachment isn't what it seems, so even if you fall for a clever phishing attempt, you won't end up sharing your info with the wrong people. You can even try Malwarebytes free before you buy.
So stay vigilant, take precautions, and look out for anything phishy.
