In these difficult times, organizations need to strike the right balance between strong corporate communications with a newly remote workforce and ongoing security controls, while also supporting employee well-being and corporate social responsibility. During a time when fears are justifiably running high, we believe it is wrong to confuse employees and exacerbate concerns further. We call upon the industry and organizations to join us in practicing socially responsible awareness training through thoughtful communication and education – not phish “testing.” Do you agree?

Another week. Another batch of SEG misses. From two credential #phishing emails originally seen in 2003 to a Loki Bot first seen in 2016, these are a few examples of #phishing emails seen by the Cofense Phishing Defense Center (PDC) last week.

There's been a recent spike in tax season-related scam emails because of renewed use of the massive Emotet botnet. The emails our threat intelligence team have spotted include fake tax forms loaded with malware designed to breach consumers' computers.

Threat actors are once again looking to take advantage of tax season. This campaign leverages Netsupport Manager, a troubleshooting and screen control program, as a malicious remote access trojan (RAT) the threat actor employs to remotely enter user systems.
