COMBAT THE 140% RISE IN CALLBACK PHISHING WITH SECURITY TRAINING

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.
