Let's dive a little deeper⬇️
Phishing➡️ Typically delivered via email, a classic phishing attack creates a sense of false urgency in the recipient in the hopes that they fail to verify the sending address, overlook errors in grammar or spelling, and ultimately click the malicious link embedded in the message.
Whaling➡️ Targets the C-suite or others who are high up in the organization’s chain of command. These attacks can also be attempts to impersonate executives to get login credentials or to initiate a bogus vendor payout.
Pretexting➡️Typically relies on the perpetrator needing to get a piece of sensitive information – like login credentials – in order to perform an important task.
Scareware➡️The threat actor bombards a user’s computer with very authentic-looking pop-up banners that encourage users to download tools or other programs to protect their web-browser-based activities.
