In the last year the threat of being phished has gone through the roof. The spoofed emails have become more convincing and harder to identify. The outcome from being phished is also much worse. They used to just send spam from your account but now they have more tricks:
- Send a change of bank details notice to your payroll administrator so on payday your salary is transferred to the attacker
- Target the person in charge of payments in your business and attempt to compromise them via emails from your account
- Intercept a valid invoice from one of your suppliers and change the bank details
