Tech Update: Take action to avoid a clever new phishing scam
There’s a new phishing scam doing the rounds. It’s unusually clever and it impersonates a highly trusted brand name to get a foot in the door. Watch our latest tech update video for all the information.
A new phishing scam is using blank image attachments and a trusted brand name to trick victims into downloading malware.
Targets receive a convincing looking but fake email that appears to come from a widely used e-signature platform.
The malicious code is so well hidden in the attachment that some anti-virus software isn’t spotting the threat.
So if you use software to sign documents electronically, you should check and double check that emails are genuine before opening any attachments.
There’s a reason why criminals have chosen to impersonate a trusted name.
This scam is unusually smart. But good systems and good training can keep you one step ahead.
If that’s something you need help with, get in touch.
