Stay Ahead of Phishing and Social Engineering Threats
As a business leader, you know cybersecurity is critical. But today’s phishing and social engineering attacks are more advanced than ever—and your employees are the main targets.
One wrong click or response from an untrained team member can lead to serious financial loss and damage your company’s reputation. That’s why building awareness is your first and best defense.
Here’s what you need to know to protect your business.
Common Tricks Hackers Use
Cybercriminals are getting smarter. They use tools like AI to make their scams look and sound real. Here are some of the most common tactics:
- Fake Websites (URL Spoofing): Hackers copy the look of trusted websites—logos, colors, even the web address—to trick people into entering sensitive information.
- Misleading Links (Link Manipulation): A link might look safe, but it actually leads to a dangerous site. One click can install malware or steal data.
- Shortened Links: Link shorteners are convenient, but hackers use them to hide harmful websites. Always preview a link before clicking.
- AI Voice Scams: This one is especially dangerous. Hackers use AI to mimic voices—like your boss or a family member—asking for money or passwords. These calls feel urgent and real, which is exactly how they fool people.
