In this month's issue, we cover why phishing works via a real-life example, and highlight the obvious signs of an attack with a phishing identification checklist. From there, we cover the perils of ransomware attacks, which have surged in 2018, and wrap things up by illustrating how organizations can defend against the ever-dangerous Advanced Persistent Threats. Scavenger Hunt Questions (and Answers): 1. Name three signs of a phishing email. (Bad grammar/spelling, unrealistic offers, threatening language, a sense of urgency, unexpected attachment, a call-to-action, unrecognizable address) 2. True or False: if an email comes from someone you know, there's no way it's a phishing attack. (False) 3. With one wrong click, this type of attack could lock up our entire organization's networks. (Ransomware) 4. Never allowing someone else to use your credentials for any reason is an example of what? (Respecting privileged access) 5. By always doing this, you help strengthen our organization's security posture and prevent unnecessary risks.
