COMBAT THE 140% RISE IN CALLBACK PHISHING WITH SECURITY TRAINING
Â
New research from Trustwave reports a 140% spike in callback phishing attacks from July to September 2024. These attacks start with urgent phishing emails, leading victims to call a scammer posing as customer support. Attackers use tactics like vishing, malware installation, and remote access control to steal data and compromise devices.
Â
Callback phishing has evolved, combining traditional techniques like brand impersonation and urgency with human interaction. Attackers exploit platforms such as PayPal, Calendly, and Xero to lure victims.
Â
These threats, alongside TOAD (Telephone-Oriented Attack Delivery) schemes, continue to bypass email security tools. It’s crucial to stay vigilant against suspicious emails and maintain awareness of the latest phishing schemes.
